  1. Federal CVO Initiatives Overview Plus… Approaches to Enabling OSOW Process Improvements MAASTO Subcommittee on Highway Transport October 17, 2012 Nick Vlahos

  2. Today’s Remarks • Summarize four current Federal initiatives for commercial vehicles • Deployed • CVISN • CSA • Evolving • Smart Roadside • Connected Vehicles • Explain how States can utilize these programs to provide additional leverage for agency process improvements

  3. Federal Initiatives

  4. Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks (CVISN) • National program in its second decade • Improve safety and security, efficiency, and freight mobility • Simplify operations • Enables agencies within a state to share information with each other and with agencies in other states • Three program areas • Credentials Administration • Safety Information Exchange • Electronic Screening • FMCSA provides funds to states on a 50-50 match basis

  5. Typical CVISN Architecture Electronic Screening System • Agencies within a state electronically share information about credentials and carriers to a common repository (a “CVIEW”) • A state’s CVIEW shares data with the Federal SAFER repository, and receives data from other states • Agency deskside and roadside staff have access to a broader picture of a carrier’s credentials and safety record Roadside Enforcement CVIEW Other State Credentials IRP IFTA SAFER (FMCSA)

  6. CVISN Deployment Levels • Funding availability is based on achieving a series of planning and deployment milestones • All MAASTO states at the “core compliant” milestone • Funding for OSOW system enhancements is an eligible expense once states have reached this phase • States in “Expanded CVISN” stage can receive up to $1M/year in funding for approved projects via a grant process • Potential OSOW Process Improvement Examples • Application submission and review improvements • OSOW data access for roadside enforcement

  7. CSA: Compliance, Safety, Accountability • Federal Initiative to improve large truck and bus safety • Stated goal is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities • Three key components • Measurement • Evaluation • Intervention • Organizes a view of carrier safety into seven categories, often referred to by the acronym “BASICs”

  8. How CSA Measurement Works at 30,000 Feet Adjustments to the methodology are made periodically to take into account observed safety outcomes

  9. What Can CSA Mean for OSOW? • CSA provides an agency-neutral way of assessing measured safety of OSOW carriers • Current information, monthly score updates • Simple 0 – 100 percentile scale • BASICs stratify items of potential issue (examples: vehicle maintenance, driver fitness, unsafe driving) • But… it is still an evolving program • There may not be enough inspection volumes to reflect all carriers in the OSOW space • Some carriers may carry a mix of legal and OSOW loads

  10. Incorporating CSA into OSOW Processes

  11. Smart Roadside • How to collect and share data needed by various infrastructure components • Vehicle identification • Inspection and enforcement • Toll facilities • Facilities serving carriers (parking, truck stops) • Manufacturers, distribution centers, and intermodal facilities • Still in early “concept of operations” phase • Potential OSOW Impact: • How to think about the OSOW credential itself

  12. Connected Vehicle Program

  13. The OSOW Industry Challenge
