  5. Presentation Agenda Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid What’s Changing? Supplemental Agency Efforts What Can Carriers do to Prepare? What Can Drivers do to Prepare? Responses to your comments and questions

  6. Presenters Gary Woodford, Program Manager, CSA 2010 Bryan Price, Senior Transportation Specialist, FMCSA Steve Piwowarski, CSA 2010 Training Manager, National Training Center Mark Savage, Captain, Colorado State Patrol Dan Meyer, Captain, Kansas Highway Patrol

  7. CSA 2010: What’s Changing? Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  8. New Measurement System Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Assesses safety of carriers and drivers based on unsafe behaviors that lead to crashes • Calculates safety performance based on 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) • Weights time and severity of violations based on relation to crash risk • Uses crash records and all safety-based violations observed at roadside • Measures carrier safety performance with enhanced information available to investigators relative to individual driver performance • In the future, measurement scores would support future Safety Fitness Determinations (currently in rulemaking, initial rollout of CSA 2010 is not dependent on rule)

  9. New Agency Plans for Drivers Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • The new Carrier Measurement System provides internal tools, including enhanced information on individual drivers, to investigators to more effectively and efficiently conduct carrier investigations • Tools allow for targeted sampling using enhanced driver information • Follow up on serious violations • Under CSA 2010, individual drivers will not be assigned safety ratings or safety fitness determinations

  10. New Agency Plans for Drivers (cont’d) • Other Agency initiatives are underway, including the Pre-employment Screening Program (PSP) • PSP was mandated by Congress and is not a part of CSA 2010 • “Driver Profiles” from FMCSA’s Driver Information Resource (DIR) will be available to carriers through PSP • Driver Profiles will only be released with driver authorization

  11. New Interventions Process The New 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 Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  12. Safety Management Cycle

  13. New Intervention Toolbox Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • New intervention tools reach more carriers and influence safety compliance earlier • CSA 2010 also introduces a new tool to warn carriers ahead of time if they have a safety problem: • Warning Letters • CSA 2010 introduces three investigations types: • Offsite Investigations • Onsite Investigations –Focused • Onsite Investigations –Comprehensive

  14. New Intervention Toolbox (cont’d) Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • CSA 2010 introduces additional follow-on corrective actions to increase carrier safety compliance • Cooperative Safety Plan (CSP) • Increased use of Notice of Violation (NOV) • CSA 2010 is strong on enforcement and continues to employ the use of: • Notice of Claim (NOC) • Operations Out-of-Service Order (OOS)

  15. New Information Supplied to Roadside Inspectors Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • SMS BASICs will replace SafeStat’s Safety Evaluation Area (SEA) data sent to Roadside Inspectors • Assist in determining level of inspection • North American Standard (NAS) inspections do not change

  16. Supplementary Agency Efforts Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  17. Roadside Data Uniformity • Data collected at the roadside is the foundation of all data driven traffic safety initiatives • CSA 2010 relies on roadside data in its SMS Methodology • The CSA 2010 SFD methodology would use roadside data as a component of safety fitness determinations

  18. Roadside Uniformity-Background • Effort organized into four core initiatives: • Consistent documentation of roadside inspection and violation data • Standardized processes for challenging 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

  19. FMCSA Data Quality Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid Quality data is key to CSA 2010 Operational Model Comprehensive data quality program initiated over 5 years ago Current data is useful and meaningful; improvements can always be made DataQs Systems provides the public the opportunity to challenge the accuracy of state reported data (https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov)

  20. FMCSA’s Comprehensive State Data Quality Program Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  21. State Data Quality Evaluation 25-month Improvement (October 2009) SSDQ Implemented (March 2004) • Ongoing evaluation shows improvements in quality of state reported crash and inspection data

  22. Data Corrections (DataQs) DataQs Data Challenges Feb 2004 – Nov 2009 ~67,000 Data challenges filed (65% resulting in data updates) ~1,700 New challenges per month ~30,000 General public/motor carrier registrations ~870 new general public/motor carrier registrations per month

  23. CSA 2010: What Can Carriers do to Prepare? Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  24. Educate Yourselves and Your Employees Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid Understand SMS Methodology Understand the BASICs Check the website for more information and updates (http://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov ) Raise drivers’ awareness that every inspection counts and every violation counts

  25. Review and Update Your Data • Ensure Motor Carrier Census (MCS-150 Form) is up-to-date and accurate • Routinely monitor and review inspection and crash data • Data currently available through FMCSA’s Portal • Agency currently exploring option to give motor carrier’s the ability to review their safety data organized by BASIC prior to SMS launch; more information will be available in early 2010 • Question potentially incorrect data (DataQs) • Maintain copies of inspection reports and evidence related to any observed violations

  26. Examine Business Processes Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid Compare past violations to severity weightings Know why your trucks are getting inspected Understand where problem areas may exist by identifying trends or patterns Implement policies and practices now to address problem areas

  27. CSA 2010: What Can Drivers do to Prepare? Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid

  28. Recommended Driver Actions Technical difficulties? Call 1-866-260-4631 for live aid • Understand the BASICs and new methodology • Maintain copies of inspection reports • Become knowledgeable about employers’ safety records by checking carrier safety information at SafeStat on line • Know and follow safety rules and regulations • CMV web-based driving tips can be found at http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/outreach/education/driverTips/index.htm • Check the CSA 2010 website for more information and updates (http://csa2010.fmcsa.dot.gov)

  29. In Summary • CSA 2010 will introduce new concepts to the motor carrier industry and to drivers: • New measurement system • New intervention process • New information at roadside • The Agency has additional programs on-going that will benefit this data-driven operational model: • Roadside Data Uniformity • Data Quality • There are many steps that motor carriers and drivers can take today to prepare for CSA 2010 roll-out in the summer of 2010

  30. What’s Next? • Provide us your feedback via the poll questions to follow • Visit the web site to find answers to your remaining questions • Search our frequently asked questions by key word • Review our fact sheets, brochures, briefings and the SMS methodology document • Look for a document in January that categorizes, consolidates and answers many Listening Session questions • If you still have a question, please send it to us through the feedback link on the web site!
