How to Initiate a CPDP Review


Motor carriers and drivers may now submit crashes that occurred on or after August 1, 2019, for review under the CPDP. Carriers must send a Request for Data Review (RDR) to the national data correction system, better known as DataQs. Under the finalized program, all RDRs must be accompanied by the police accident report for that crash. Fleets and drivers are encouraged to also submit documents, photos and videos (5 MB maximum size) that demonstrate that the crash fits one of the categories eligible for review and that the crash was not preventable. The burden of proof is on the submitter,


both as to crash eligibility and to the crash being not preventable.


Crashes Eligible for CPDP Review Under the finalized program, the following categories of crashes are eligible for CPDP review:


Struck in the rear type of crash when the CMV was struck: • in the rear; or • on the side at the rear.


Wrong direction or illegal turns type of crash when the CMV was struck:


• by a motorist driving in the wrong direction; or


• by another motorist in a crash when a driver was operating in the wrong direction; or


• by a vehicle that was making a U-turn or illegal turn.


Parked or legally stopped type of crash when the CMV was struck:


• while legally stopped at a traffic control device (stop sign, red light or yield); or


• while parked, including while the vehicle was unattended.
