WASHINGTON, DC -- At the start of her first full year helping to lead the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Deputy Administrator Cathy Gautreaux praised the agency for its recent accomplishments and laid out its priorities going forward.

“These are exciting and important times for our Agency. I am honored to have been selected to provide leadership, and look forward to helping to advance FMCSA's priorities and goals,” Gautreaux said Jan. 9 at the top of her keynoter at the MCSA Analysis, Research, and Technology Forum held here at the 97th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board.

Looking back at last year, Gautreaux, who took over as the agency's number-two official in November, said it was “a good year for us, thanks to the efforts of the 1,100 men and women of FMCSA and our partners. We couldn't do our work without you.”

She said a notable success is the rise seen in the use of safety belts by truck and bus drivers, which increased to 86% in 2016-- up from 65% back in 2007.” Gautreaux also pointed to the agency's efforts in 2017 to improve crash data collection, which she said are “chief among FMCSA's research activities and priorities this year.

Turning to the various Congressional mandates imposed on the agency by the FAST Act highway bill (which was signed into law in December 2015), she reported that the agency

completed several FAST Act-required projects in 2017, including the Post-Accident Report Review and the Correlation Study, and noted that “recommendations have been published and the agency is currently working to implement improvements.”

TMAF Campaign to Raise Awareness of Human Trafficking

Trucking Moves America Forward has launched an online awareness and educational campaign to highlight the trucking industry's unique position to help stop human trafficking.

During the month of January, TMAF will use its Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn presence to offer facts and education about the widespread national crime and how the trucking industry can help.

“Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery taking place in every state across the country,” said Kevin Burch, co-chairman of TMAF and president of Jet Express Inc. “With 3.5 million professional truck drivers on America's roads, the industry and truck drivers are in a valuable position to help identify and report possible human trafficking cases. It's important that drivers and all members of the public know the warning signs for trafficking and are empowered with the knowledge on how to report suspicious behavior.”

The goal is help raise awareness of the human trafficking problem in this country and provide drivers with a list of the warnings signs of trafficking and a hotline to identify and report suspected activity.

“The trucking industry and individual truck drivers are invaluable in the fight against human trafficking,” said Elisabeth Barna, COO of American Trucking Associations, TMAF executive committee member, and a board member of Truckers Against Trafficking. “Truckers are the eyes and ears of our transportation system, which allows them to close the loopholes that traffickers exploit for their own personal gain. TMAF is helping to raise awareness and educate truck drivers on the important role they can take in stopping human trafficking.”
