Action Required to Maintain Your DataQs Access
How you log in to DataQs is changing. FMCSA is making access more secure by implementing multifactor authentication—a login method requiring two pieces of information to verify your identity.

Soon, your DataQs username and password will no longer be used to log in to DataQs. You will access DataQs through a Login.gov account. Visit FMCSA's HOW TO guide to read more.


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.

    Review Updated Information

    • FMCSA websites are updated at various times and therefore affect when you see changes based on your RDR. FMCSA's Portal and SAFER websites are updated daily, while SMS and PSP are updated monthly. If you have filed a petition, the Clearinghouse will be updated as soon as the result is posted.
