As of which date have carrier alerts and BASIC percentile scores been removed from public displays under the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act?

Answer: B — Dec 4, 2015

The correct date is December 4, 2015, when carrier alerts and BASIC percentile scores were removed from public displays as stipulated by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. This legislation aimed to enhance the overall efficiency of the freight transport system while addressing various concerns related to public safety and transparency in the trucking industry. The removal of these alerts and scores was intended to reduce the potential for misuse of information that could unfairly damage a carrier's reputation based on inadequate or misleading data. This change marks a significant shift towards ensuring that performance metrics are used more judiciously and that the data available to the public does not misrepresent a carrier’s safety profile. By establishing this date, the FAST Act aimed to balance the need for accountability in the industry with fair representation of carrier safety and performance.
