Exchanging Safety Data to Enhance Safety
Securely exchanging data between State CVIEWs and FMCSA’s SAFER database is the foundation of FMCSA’s ITD program. Learn about how States exchange data with FMCSA, and with each other, and steps States can take to ensure their data is of the highest quality possible. ITD users can also log in to conduct web queries of SAFER and other FMCSA web systems.

Information to Help States Implement ITD
FMCSA is committed to providing States with the resources and information they need to implement effective ITD programs. Learn about the basics of the ITD program and how your State can get involved. ITD users can also log in to access recordings of previous webinars, conference materials, and web infrastructure technical specifications.
RESOURCES
To provide an additional opportunity for States to engage with their peers, FMCSA introduced the ITD State Spotlight in 2023. Every quarter, during an ITD Program Managers' meeting, a participating State presents their strategies to achieve their ITD goals, enabling other States to benefit from their experience and insights.
ITD State Spotlight: Nebraska
August 2024
Nebraska is taking trucks with unsafe tires off the road while maximizing enforcement staff and maintaining the flow of commerce. The State leveraged ITD funds to deploy an enhanced e-screening system that features a tire anomaly detection system (TADS). The TADS has proven to be extremely accurate, and tire-related out-of-service rates have increased significantly since deployment.
