As of which date have carrier alerts and Basic percentile scores been removed from public displays?

Answer: C — Dec 4, 2015

The removal of carrier alerts and Basic percentile scores from public displays was implemented to improve the way safety performance data is shared and managed regarding commercial motor carriers. This change, effective on December 4, 2015, aimed to protect the interests of carriers by minimizing potential misinterpretations of their safety data by the public and to focus instead on broader safety trends. By pulling these alerts from public view, the regulatory authorities sought to ensure that the displayed data would be more representative and comprehensive, while also preventing the possibility of stigmatizing certain carriers based on potentially misleading metrics. This decision aligns with a more refined and holistic approach to assessing carrier safety without overemphasizing specific data points that could lead to misunderstandings.
