This document is part of a series of reports evaluating the data reported to the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) Crash File undertaken by the Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. Earlier studies showed that reporting to the MCMIS Crash File was significantly incomplete in other states. This report examines the sources of underreporting for the state of California. MCMIS Crash File records were matched to the California Police Accident Report (PAR) file to determine the nature and extent of underreporting. Overall, California submitted 52.6% of its reportable crash involvements to the MCMIS Crash File in 2003. Reporting rates varied by vehicle type, crash severity, and reporting agency. Reporting rates are 71.3% for fatal crashes, 53.2% for injury cases, and 51.9% for tow/disabled accidents. Where specific truck type could be determined, two-axle trucks are reported only 50% of the time, while three-axle trucks and truck tractors each have an 85% reporting rate. Buses are only reported 13.3% of the time. CHP agencies had a reporting rate of 72.0%, compared with 5.7% for police departments, and 6.7% for sheriff's offices.
