Tuesday, July 7, 2026 – FMCSA has announced a
temporary suspension of USDOT number inactivations for entities
that have not completed required biennial updates since June 1,
2026. The suspension is intended to reduce disruption during the
ongoing transition to Motus — FMCSA's new online registration
system that launched May 19. This measure is intended to give
registrants additional time to complete biennial updates without
risk of inactivation due to Motus-related access or system issues.
EMA has been actively engaged on this issue. At the request of
several state executives who reported significant confusion
surrounding the Motus transition process, EMA has asked FMCSA to
provide clearer guidance and relief for affected registrants.
FMCSA has indicated that additional guidance will be forthcoming
as recovery and stabilization efforts continue.
EMA
marketers experiencing registration issues or requiring immediate
assistance should submit an inquiry via the agency's webform at
ask.fmcsa.dot.gov/app/ticket.
For a summary
of recommended actions and guidance on navigating the available
FMCSA customer service tools during this transition period, please
