As an effort to boost state-managed fleet safety compliance, DOT compliance, and safety consulting programs, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) established new state registration fees distributed to states that participate in the Unified Carrier Registration Program (UCRP). Enforcement of fees will begin on July 15.The fees were set higher than last year’s fees, yet they are lower than what was proposed by the agency in 2009.
| Number of Vehicles | Previous Fee | New Fee |
| 1 - 2 | $39 | $76 |
| 3 – 5 | $116 | $227 |
| 6 – 20 | $231 | $452 |
| 21 – 100 | $806 | $1,576 |
| 101 – 1,000 | $3,840 | $7,511 |
| 1,001 – 200,000 | $37,500 | $73,346 |
The new fees only apply to commercial motor vehicle power units and were launched April 27th. The increased state registration fees may help to remedy fee-based revenue shortfalls that have been experienced by states due to inadequate payment enforcement at roadside inspections and also due to carriers miscounting power units.
