U.S. Department of Transportations Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) officials visited the College of Southern Marylands Center for Transportation Training on Radio Station Road in La Plata in June to observe students in the classroom, and on the range and highway. The FMCSA is the federal agency responsible for safety regulations covering the commercial motor vehicle (CMV) industry and commercial drivers license holders and we are pleased they chose to visit CSM to learn more about our training program, said CSM Transportation Programs Director Mary Beth McCollum. FMCSAs mission is to promote safe commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operations and reduce large truck and bus crashes, injuries and fatalities through education, regulation, enforcement, research and innovative technology.
