The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is a transportation agency

with over 1,000 Federal employees and 12,000 State Partners across the Nation committed to our safety mission—preventing crashes, injuries, and fatalities related to large trucks and buses on our highways.

CSA’s Three Elements
1) The Safety Measurement System (SMS)
Improves how FMCSA prioritizes

carriers for interventions
Includes more safety data; all safety-based violations found during roadside inspections
Organizes safety behaviors into seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs)
2) Interventions Process
Creates new, more efficient ways for FMCSA to interact with carriers and help bring them into compliance (e.g., warning letters and Onsite Focused Investigations)
3) Safety Fitness Determination (SFD)
Current safety rating process requires an Onsite Investigation

Raising Your Company’s Safety Standards

Helps FMCSA prioritize carriers for interventions
SMS results are updated once per

month based on the prior 24 months
Violation and crash information are weighted based on their severity and when these events occurred
It is important for you to understand how your safety performance affects your carrier’s SMS results
Safety violations adversely affect your company’s SMS results for two years
All safety-based roadside inspection violations count, not just out-of-service (OOS) violations
Violations recorded on a roadside inspection report are used in the SMS regardless of whether a State officer also issued a citation (i.e., ticket) or a verbal warning
Note: The SMS is not a safety rating and does not alter a carrier’s safety rating

information into seven BASICs
Your safety performance affects your company’s SMS results—and your Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) record
The BASICs are a good way to remember many of the safety rules you must follow

Your safety performance keeps everyone safe on the road—including you
Your performance

is part of your company’s record, so your safety compliance means a lot
It’s up to you to ensure your safety record is accurate
You have two different records:
State Motor Vehicle Record (MVR)
Federal PSP record
Note: The Federal and State governments do not calculate or issue a driver “score.” There is no universal evaluation method for drivers*

Why Your Safety Record Matters

*FMCSA’s Driver SMS (DSMS) does not generate or issue driver safety ratings or “scores.” It does not affect a driver’s commercial driver’s license, or a carrier’s safety rating. DSMS results are not available to motor carriers, drivers, third-party providers, or the public. DSMS results are an investigative tool only available to enforcement officials for examining commercial motor vehicle driver performance as part of CSA investigations. DSMS results are not a measure of a driver’s overall safety condition.

State MVR
Same system as before, not impacted by CSA
Includes State conviction

information
States (not the Federal government) may suspend a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) based on conviction information reflected on your MVR
Employers are required by Federal regulations to check your MVR annually (49 CFR 391.25)
To obtain this record, contact the State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA) that issued your CDL

2. Federal PSP Record (mandated by Congress)
Pre-employment screening tool that allows

carriers and drivers to purchase a Federal inspection and crash history record, which includes:
Five years of reportable crashes
Three years of inspections—violations recorded on inspections and clean inspections
Note: The Federal and State governments do not issue a “score,” rating, or assessment associated with a driver’s PSP record
Your PSP record does not directly impact your CDL
A carrier may only access your PSP record with your consent
Obtain your record for a $10 fee at http://www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov or for free via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request

State Information (citation/tickets)? State Court If you are aware of an

State Information (citation/tickets)? State Court
If you are aware of an error,

contest citation information in State court; otherwise information goes on your MVR, possibly impacting your CDL
Federal Information (recorded violations)? DataQs
Request a review of Federal information on your PSP record via DataQs
Visit FMCSA’s DataQs Website: https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov/
File a Request for Data Review (RDR) on an inspection and/or reportable crash
Provide supporting documentation when filing an RDR
RDRs are reviewed by the State where the inspection/crash occurred
If you receive a Federal violation and a State citation/ticket for the same infraction:
Handle them separately using the methods listed above

Ensure Accuracy of Your Safety Information

The updated Adjudicated Citations policy went into effect in August 2014

The updated Adjudicated Citations policy went into effect in August 2014
Improves

the quality and uniformity of violation information in FMCSA systems (e.g., MCMIS)
Allows FMCSA to upload the results of State citations associated with violations that the court has adjudicated
Process highlights:
Carriers and drivers can submit RDRs along with court documentation via DataQs
The State will review and document the citation results for the associated violations, and those results will impact PSP and SMS as listed below

Third Parties and Carriers Evaluating Drivers Carriers and independent third parties

Third Parties and Carriers Evaluating Drivers
Carriers and independent third parties combine

PSP and other driver information, and call it a “CSA score” or “CSA driver scorecard.” The Federal government does not endorse third-party driver “scores”.
Note: The Federal government does not calculate or issue a driver “score.” There is no universal evaluation method for drivers
Ask your carrier how you are being evaluated
