6-Axle Vehicle Safety Data Collection Program

A new pilot program allows certain states to permit heavier 6-axle trucks on Interstate highways. The goal is to collect data on accidents and mileage to assess the impact of these vehicles on safety. Citizens might notice changes in road traffic and potentially in road safety.
Key points
States can allow 6-axle vehicles weighing up to 91,000 pounds on Interstate highways, provided they collect accident data.
Trucking companies may receive a 67% fee reduction on permits if their vehicles are equipped with automatic emergency braking systems.
The program will run for 5 years, with a possible extension, and states must annually report accident and mileage data for these vehicles.
