Description:
Public Citizen represented Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, which filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with FMCSA in October 2006 for information about activities to develop or implement a program to evaluate Mexico-domiciled motor carriers that would be permitted to operate beyond the Mexico-United States border zone. In a series of productions in 2008 and early 2009, the agency released records related to the program, thereby resolving the case.

But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
