UCR Auto-Renew Program

The first year of UCR’s auto-renew program is coming up fast! Over 21,000 carriers have signed up to have their 2025 registration automatically renewed by the NRS. These carriers will soon begin to receive emails to remind them of the upcoming automatic registration. These registrations will all be done with option A and use the number of power units on their most current MCS-150 form. Payment will be automatically completed through the credit card the carrier authorized on the NRS during their 2024 registration. More information about this program will soon be available soon. For assistance with how to help carriers through this process, please contact the UCR helpdesk at 1-833-827-7526 or email them at  helpdesk@ucr.gov.

Proposed Changes to the UCR Agreement Are On The Way

The Unified Carrier Registration Agreement is the interstate agreement between the UCR Plan Board of Directors and the 41 states participating in the UCR Plan.  The UCR Agreement governs the collection and distribution of registration and financial responsibility information and fees paid by covered motors carriers and others under the UCR Act.  The UCR Plan Board of Directors and staff have been reviewing the UCR Agreement and have determined that the Agreement needs updating.  At the UCR Plan Board of Directors meeting on June 6, 2024, the Board adopted a procedure for considering amendments to the UCR Agreement.  A copy of that procedure has been posted to the Policies and Procedures page of the UCR website.  The procedure provides for publication of any proposed amendments to the UCR Agreement to allow for a period of public comment. We encourage you to review the procedure and participate in the public comment process.  For questions contact info@plan.ucr.gov.

Board and Subcommittee Meetings

The proposed calendar for the 2025 UCR Board and Subcommittee meetings has been released.
