U.S. Government Shuts Down, FMCSA Unimpacted 

The U.S. Congress has not passed funding legislation for the new fiscal year, beginning today, Oct. 1, and has shut down due to a lapse of appropriations. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will continue to operate as normal, despite a lapse in annual appropriations. FMCSA is primarily funded by authorized contract authority through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and paid out of the Highway Trust Fund.
