Bill overview
The SAFER Transport Act aims to combat freight fraud and theft within the transportation industry. It establishes a Freight Fraud and Theft Advisory Committee to advise the Department of Transportation on strategies to reduce these issues, and mandates a memorandum of understanding between the Department and the Attorney General to coordinate efforts. The bill also phases out the Motor Carrier (MC) number registration system, replacing it with USDOT numbers, and strengthens state licensing requirements to ensure drivers are legally authorized to operate commercial vehicles. Finally, it creates a system for flagging suspicious activity in the registration system and outlines penalties for fraudulent behavior.
