  20. Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010A New Way To Measure and Address Commercial Motor Vehicle SafetyIndustry BriefingSeptember 17, 2009 U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

  21. Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 What is CSA 2010? CSA 2010 is a pro-active initiative to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of FMCSA’s enforcement and compliance program to achieve the Agency’s mission to reduce commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes, fatalities, and injuries.

  22. A New Operational Model (Op-Model)

  23. SMS BASICs SMS 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

  24. New Interventions Process The New Interventions Process addresses the… • WHAT Discovering violations anddefining the problem (similar to current model), but also expanding to include the why and how • 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

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

  26. Current vs CSA 2010 Intervention Process

  27. What is Changing? • The way FMCSA assesses carrier safety • Identifies unsafe carrier and driver behaviors that lead to crashes • Uses all safety-based roadside inspection violations count • Evaluates/tracks driver performance individually • How FMCSA addresses carrier safety issues • Reaches more carriers earlier and more frequently • Improves efficiency of investigations • Focuses on specific unsafe behaviors • Identifies root causes • Defines and requires corrective actions • How FMCSA promotes safety • Forces carriers/drivers to be accountable for their safety performance • Demands and enforces safe on-road performance • Makes more complete safety performance assessments publicly available

  28. What Can Carriers Do To Prepare Now? • Learn more about CSA: http://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov • Understand the BASICs • Check the site for implementation schedule • Sign up for latest news: RSS/listserv • Check and update records • Motor Carrier Census (Form MCS -150) • Inspection and crash report • Ensure compliance • Review inspections and violation history over the past 2 years • Address safety problems now • Educate drivers about how their performance impacts their own driving record and the safety assessment of the carrier
