What is the law that governs the Unified Carrier Registration Agreement?
The Unified Carrier Registration Agreement (“UCRA”), is established by federal law, in the Unified Carrier Registration Act of 2005, which is part of the federal highway reauthorization bill known as the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act, A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”) (Public Law 109-59, enacted August 10, 2005). UCRA is treated in sections 4302 through 4308 of SAFETEA-LU. In particular, the structure of UCRA is set forth in SAFETEA-LU section 4305, which enacts a new section of the federal code 49 U.S.C. section 14504a.
