Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP)
The Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) is administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). This program provides vital funding to the state of New Mexico to help reduce the number and severity of crashes and hazardous materials involving commercial motor vehicles (CMV’s). The goal of MCSAP is to reduce CMV-involved crashes, fatalities, and injuries through consistent, uniform, and effective CMV safety programs.
The New Mexico State Police-Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (NMSP-CVE), of the New Mexico Department of Public Safety (NMDPS), is the lead MCSAP agency for the State of New Mexico. As the lead agency, the NMSP-CVE is responsible for administering the Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP) within the state. The mission of the NMSP-CVE is to promote safety on New Mexico highways through both education and awareness and by providing traffic enforcement services to the motoring public. This mission is accomplished by enforcing the state’s Criminal Code, the Motor Transportation Act, the Motor Vehicle Code, and additional federal/state commercial motor vehicle safety regulations as adopted in the New Mexico Administrative Code. Additionally, the NMSP-CVE works to ensure the safe and legal operation of CMV’s and to prevent the introduction of illicit contraband into New Mexico while facilitating trade.
