The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is thrilled to participate in the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree journey this year. As an agency committed to ensuring safety in commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations, FMCSA views this initiative as a unique opportunity to engage with the public to raise awareness about safe driving practices, and the collective responsibility we all share in ensuring safe travel during the busy holiday season.
As the agency works to enhance safety standards and reduce crashes on our roads, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree journey offers a platform to remind the public of the importance of safety around large trucks and buses during the holiday season. With increased travel during this period, we take this opportunity to highlight crucial safety messages for both CMV and personal drivers.
Additionally, the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree journey provides FMCSA with a chance to celebrate and support the communities that play a vital role in road safety. By participating in this event, we acknowledge the efforts of truck drivers, transportation professionals, and local communities who prioritize road safety. This involvement allows us to express appreciation for the hard work and dedication of those who contribute to safer roadways.
