Which of the following is NOT a mission of the FMCSA?

Develop and enforce data-driven regulations
Target educational messages to carriers
Partner with stakeholders to reduce crashes
Oversee the prosecution of criminally negligent cases

The correct answer is: Oversee the prosecution of criminally negligent cases

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has several key missions aimed at promoting safety and preventing crashes within the commercial vehicle industry. Among its responsibilities, the FMCSA is focused on developing and enforcing data-driven regulations, targeting educational messages to carriers for safety improvement, and partnering with stakeholders to reduce crashes. However, overseeing the prosecution of criminally negligent cases falls outside the scope of the FMCSA's mission. Prosecution of criminal activities typically falls under the purview of law enforcement and the judicial system rather than a regulatory agency like the FMCSA. The FMCSA's role is more about establishing safety standards, providing guidance, and ensuring compliance through regulatory measures and partnerships, rather than engaging directly in criminal prosecution. This differentiation highlights why oversight of criminal prosecutions is not included in the FMCSA's mission.
