  1. Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) A New Way To Measure and Address Commercial Motor Vehicle SafetyIndustry BriefingDecember 2010

  2. What Is CSA?

  3. Op-Model: Three Core Components • Measuring Carrier SafetyImproved ability for earlier identification of demonstrated safety problems by specific Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) from: • Safety Measurement System results (on-road performance), and/or • Investigation Findings • Intervention ProcessEmploys an array of interventions instead of the previous principal option  a labor-intensive compliance review • Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)SFD to be tied to current safety performance; not limited to results of acute/critical violations from a compliance review

  4. BASICs BASICs focus on behaviors linked to crash risk • Unsafe Driving (Parts 392 & 397) • Fatigued Driving (Hours-of-Service); Parts 392 & 395) • Driver Fitness (Parts 383 & 391) • Controlled Substances/Alcohol (Parts 382 & 392) • Vehicle Maintenance (Parts 393 & 396) • Cargo-Related (Parts 392, 393, 397 & HM) • Crash Indicator

  5. CSMS BASIC Thresholds Carriers’ BASIC percentile results are used to trigger carriers for interventions in Op-Model Test • | 5 • CSA 2010 OM Test Phase 2 Training

  6. Carrier Measurement: SMS Results

  7. Carrier Measurement: SMS Results

  8. Further Drilldown in SMS

  9. Carrier Access to Data • Carriers have access to full SMS results and BASIC measurements • Public has access to SMS results and BASIC measurements except for percentile scores for the Crash Indicator and Cargo-Related BASIC • Cargo-Related violations are available to the public • Decision regarding what to display was based on feedback through out the field test and data preview • List of Crashes are available to the public • Similar to the Accident SEA in SafeStat

  10. Op-Model: Three Core Components • Measuring Carrier SafetyImproved ability for earlier identification of demonstrated safety problems by specific Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) from: • Safety Measurement System results (on-road performance), and/or • Investigation Findings • Intervention ProcessEmploys an array of interventions instead of the previous principal option  a labor-intensive compliance review • Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)SFD to be tied to current safety performance; not limited to results of acute/critical violations from a compliance review

  11. The Interventions Process The Interventions Process addresses the… • WHAT Discovering violations anddefining the problem • WHY Identifying the cause or where the processes broke down • HOWDetermining how to fix it/prevent it through use of Safety Management Cycle and Safety Improvement Resources

  12. Intervention Tools The intervention tools reach more carriers and influence safety compliance earlier • Warning Letters • Investigations • Offsite Investigations • Onsite Focused Investigations • Onsite Comprehensive Investigations • Follow-on corrective actions • Cooperative Safety Plan (CSP) • Notice of Violation (NOV) • Notice of Claim (NOC) • Operations Out-of-Service Order (OOS)

  13. Op-Model: Three Core Components • Measuring Carrier SafetyImproved ability for earlier identification of demonstrated safety problems by specific Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) from: • Safety Measurement System results (on-road performance), and/or • Investigation Findings • Intervention ProcessEmploys an array of interventions instead of the previous principal option  a labor-intensive compliance review • Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)SFD to be tied to current safety performance; not limited to results of acute/critical violations from a compliance review

  14. Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) SFD would: Incorporate on-road safety performance via the new SMS, which is updated on a monthly basis Continue to include major safety violations found as part of CSA investigations Produce an SFD of Unfit or Marginal or Continue Operation Draft rulemaking is currently in review within USDOT; NPRM expected to be published in late 2011.

  15. Limitations of Current Rating Process Current Ratings: Can only be issued or downgraded with an on-site review – resource intensive Represent a snapshot of carrier compliance at the moment of the most recent compliance review Do not consider roadside driver inspection performance Are based only on violations deemed “critical” or “acute” and vehicle out-of-service violations Generally require multiple areas of deficiency for adverse rating Only issued to small portion of carrier population • | 15

  16. Objectives of Proposed CSA 2010 SFD Methodology Make carriers accountable for sustained unsafe operations and performance Assess larger portion of carrier population Move away from agency “seal of approval” Carrier can continue to operate until deficiency identified, focus is on removing high risk carriers from road vs. identifying “good” carriers Maximize use of data collected by inspection program ~3 million inspections performed annually • | 16

  17. SFD – Roadside Data Role of On Road Performance 24 months of violation data used to evaluate a carrier in the following BASICs: Unsafe Driving Fatigued Driving (Hours-of-Service) Driver Fitness Vehicle Maintenance Cargo Related (1) Crash Indicator and (2) Controlled Substances /Alcohol BASICs cannot fail based on roadside data alone Measure exceeding established “absolute” thresholds – results in failed BASIC • | 17

  18. CSMS BASIC Thresholds Carriers’ BASIC percentile results are used to trigger carriers for interventions in Op-Model Test • | 18 • CSA 2010 OM Test Phase 2 Training

  19. CSA 2010 Safety Fitness DeterminationMethodology Being Considered • | 19

  20. New Agency Plans for Drivers (cont’d) • Pre-employment Screening Program (PSP) • PSP was mandated by Congress and is not a part of CSA • “Driver Profiles” from FMCSA’s Driver Information Resource (DIR) are available to carriers through PSP • Driver Profiles will only be released with driver authorization • PSP is currently available, access and additional information can be found at www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov
