About DataQs

Accurate data leads to safer roads.
DataQs is an FMCSA system that allows users to request and track a review of Federal and State data issued by FMCSA believed to be incomplete or incorrect.

It enables all users—motor carriers, drivers and their representatives, as well as FMCSA and its State partners—to improve the accuracy of FMCSA's data-driven safety systems that help prevent crashes, injuries, and fatalities related to commercial motor vehicles.

    Check Your Email

    • FMCSA's goal is for RDRs to be opened and investigated within 10 days after they are received. Check your email periodically for FMCSA's decision to keep, correct, or remove the information in the system. You will receive an explanation for that decision.
