Methodology
Each point is the percentage of that month's roadside inspections flagged out-of-service (the inspector ordered the vehicle or driver off the road). It is computed as out-of-service inspections divided by total inspections for the month. Source: FMCSA roadside inspection records from data.transportation.gov, refreshed daily.
