  1. CSA Sergeant Steve L. Brown Office of Motor Carrier Compliance OMCC Director: Colonel David Dees

  2. FMCSA v. OMCC • FMCSA is the federal agency responsible for development and enforcement of commercial motor vehicle rules. • OMCC is the state agency for Florida responsible for enforcing commercial motor vehicle regulations and laws.

  3. Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) • First and foremost, CSA is an initiative to improve roadway safety by reducing crashes and mitigating hazards following a crash. • CSA is intended to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of enforcement and compliance. • Uses data more effectively to identify problematic carriers (725,000 carriers v. 12,000 compliance reviews). • Employs a wider array of interventions to correct behavior most likely to result in crashes.

  4. Changes Safestat to SMS Converted from 4 factors of review to 7 to BASICs of the Safety Management System: Unsafe Driving, Fatigued Driving, Driver Fitness, Control Substance and Alcohol, Vehicle Maintenance, Cargo Related and Crash Indicator. Safestat would identify carriers for a CR, where SMS identifies problematic areas (carrier and driver specific) for specific carriers to focus efforts. Safestat only identified OOS violations, where SMS uses all violations to identify problematic areas and weights violations against crash risks.

  5. Changes to Add Intervention Tools • The intervention tools reach more carriers and influence safety compliance earlier • Warning Letters (FMCSA) • Investigations • Offsite Investigations (June 2011) • Onsite Focused Investigations • Onsite Comprehensive Investigations • Follow-up corrective actions • Cooperative Safety Plan (CSP) • Notice of Violation (NOV) • Notice of Claim (NOC) • Operations Out-of-Service Order (OOS)

  6. Warning Letters • Advises carriers • Roadside deficiencies • Consequences of non-compliance • Sent when carrier exceeds threshold ≥ 1 BASICs • In Jan, ~ 26,000 Warning Letters will be distributed • Based on other states, approximately 50% of carriers will view the data. • Monthly thereafter

  7. What Can Carriers Do? • Educate yourselves and your employees: • Understand the SMS Methodology and the BASICs. • Check the website for information and updates (http://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov). • Raise awareness that every inspection counts and every violation counts. • Ensure compliance • Review inspections and violation history over the past 2 years. • Develop policies and procedures to locate and correct potential deficiencies before enforcement does. • Educate drivers and other carrier members about how their performance impacts their own driving record and the safety measurement of the carrier. • Check and update records • Motor Carrier Census (Form MCS -150). • Routinely monitor and review inspection and crash data. • Question potentially incorrect data (DataQs: https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov).

  8. Further Drilldown in SMS

  9. Roadside Uniformity-Background • Effort organized into four core initiatives: • Consistent documentation of roadside inspection and violation data. • Increased awareness of high-level goals of the inspection program. • Good inspections can support systematic enforcement program • Screening vs. Inspection • Uniform inspection selection processes. • Standardized processes for making a Request for Data Review (RDR) also know as Data Qs.

  10. Pre-Employment Screening Program • 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

  11. Safety Rating Improvement • Remember, the best way to improve your Safety Rating is to be proactive before receiving a “Conditional” or “Unsatisfactory” Rating. • Correctional Action Plan. • Requesting a Comprehensive Compliance Review. • Safety Inspections (NPRM)- time and clean inspections.

  12. Frequently Asked Questions • Do traffic citations affect SMS? No. Only inspections and crashes reported on MCMIS affect SMS. • Do carriers need to register for CSA in order to fulfill training requirements? No. • Is it considered an inspection every time someone speaks to a driver at facility? No. Screening v. inspection.

  13. Can you afford not to have a good safety program?
