B -- MEASURING EXPOSURE IN THE DIVERSE COMMERCIAL MOTOR CARRIER INDUSTRY SOL DTFH61-98-X-00006 POC Bruce Robinson (202)366-4235 The Federal Highway Administration intends to negotiate a cooperative agreement with the University of Maryland Business School to identify, review, and summarize relevant information of diverse segments of the commercial motor carrier industry. The effort will facilitate FHWA's ability to make inter-segment comparisons within the industry and will include preparing detailed summary descriptions of major operating and financial performance information on firms in each segment, placing a special emphasis on developing a profile of safety management. Dr. Thomas Corsi of the University of Maryland Business School is uniquely qualified for the work required under this project as it is a continuation of work he has been undertaking for the FHWA through the Volpe Center as well as his knowledge of the entire spectrum of safety publications, the extent of his publications on numerous sectors of the industry, and his access to complete financial and operating data from the last twenty years. Objections may be sent to fax no. (202) 366-3705 and must be received by 4:15 PM (EDT) June 1, 1998. (0135)
