SAFER Transport Act combats freight fraud and theft by enhancing registration, auditing, and enforcement mechanisms for motor carriers and brokers.

The SAFER Transport Act aims to combat freight fraud and theft by amending title 49, United States Code. It mandates the Secretary of Transportation to establish an advisory committee to gather public input on reducing freight fraud and theft. The Act requires the Secretary to issue guidance to motor carriers and brokers on protecting against fraudulent activities. It also mandates the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to review flagged users for fraud, establish a process for States to remove training providers from the registry, and audit training providers to ensure compliance.
