This document is part of a series of reports evaluating the data reported tothe Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) Crash Fileundertaken by the Center for National Truck and Bus Statistics at theUniversity of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. Earlier studiesshowed that reporting to the MCMIS Crash File was significantly incomplete inother states. This report examines the sources of underreporting for thestate of California.
