  1. CSA 2010 Update:

  2. FMCSA’s Challenge: Industry Volume • Significantly more carriers than federal/state investigators • FMCSA regulates ~725,000 interstate and foreign-based truck and bus companies • Compliance Review (CR) is effective, but it is labor intensive – Only able to reach < 2% (~12,000) of total carrier population annually

  3. FMCSA’s Existing Model • SafeStat (over 53% of audits due to Safestat) • Compliance Review Process • Safety Ratings tied exclusively to Compliance Review • Focus is on the motor carrier

  4. FMCSA’s Challenge: CMV-Related Fatalities

  5. CSA 2010 Description • CSA 2010 Operational Model --- • Target unsafe behavior. • Safety fitness tied to data; not CR or only acute/critical violations. • Broad array of progressive interventions. • Focus is on carriers and drivers. • Leverage new technology, training, and information.

  6. CSA 2010: Meeting the Challenge CSA 2010 is pro-active in improving FMCSA’s enforcement efficiencies and protecting lives: • Extending their reach to more carriers and drivers • Improving their ability to identify safety problems earlier

  7. Target The Masses • Studies have shown that when you look at a group of workers that they can broken down for the most part into three groups: • 20% are self-starters/leaders. These people are already doing things the right way. • 74% are followers. These people can go either way depending on the person leading. • 6% are malcontents/non-conformers. These people will challenge authority. • The key to your safety training success is to target the masses (the 74%). A small percentage change in this target group will have a huge impact on your program’s performance.

  8. CSA 2010: Extending our Reach

  9. CSA 2010 Safety Measurement System (SMS) • Performance-based for determining motor carrier and driver safety • Measures safety performance using all roadside inspection safety-based violations • This means not just out of service violations – but ALL violations listed • Weights time and severity of violations based on relationship to crash risk • Calculates safety performance in 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs)

  10. Behavioral Analysis & SafetyImprovement Categories BASICs for Carriers and Drivers Behaviors That Lead To Crashes • Unsafe Driving • Fatigued Driving • Driver Fitness • Controlled Substances and Alcohol • Vehicle Maintenance • Improper Loading/Cargo • Crash Indicator

  11. Benefits of CSA 2010’s SMS

  12. CSA 2010 Interventions - Carrier • Warning Letter • Targeted Roadside Inspection • Off-Site Investigation • On-Site Investigation - Focused • Cooperative Safety Plan • Notice of Violation • On-Site Investigation - Comprehensive • Notice of Claim • Settlement Agreement Increasing Severity

  13. CSA 2010 Proposed Operational Model

  14. Benefits of CSA 2010’s Intervention Toolbox

  15. Benefits of CSA 2010’s Safety Fitness Determination

  16. CSA 2010 and Compliance Reviews Question: Does CSA 2010 replace the compliance review, which is effective, with less intensive interventions? Answer: No. Under CSA 2010, FMCSA is not replacing the compliance review with less intensive alternatives where the onsite comprehensive review is needed to change unsafe behavior. Instead, FMCSA is augmenting the CR with other interventions (warning letter, off-site and targeted on-site reviews) to address safety problems early before the carrier is considered a high crash-risk.

  17. CSA 2010 and Enforcement Question: Is CSA 2010 “light” on enforcement? Answer: No. Under CSA 2010 FMCSA will still issue Unfit Determinations, Notices of Claim, and Notices of Violation. Once the SFD rule is in place, FMCSA can deem a carrier “Unfit” by on-road performance data alone. It is anticipated that this rule will result in more carriers (5x as many) being placed out-of-service (OOS).

  18. CSA 2010 Status • Operational Model Design - Completed January 2008 • Operational Model Field Test – Began February 2008; Completion Planned June 2010 • Test the validity, efficiency and effectiveness of CSA 2010 • Independent 3rd party evaluation conducted by University of Michigan’s Transportation Research Institute • Federal and State Work Group (FSWG) • CSA 2010 National Implementation – Roll-out being planned for July through December 2010

  19. CSA 2010 Field Test Design • 30-month field test in 4 States: Colorado, Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey • Randomly divided into control (34,421) and test (34,033) groups ~ 50%/50% • Phased implementation of field test: • Phase I Startup: Feb-08 to Sept-08 • 3 BASICS; emphasized off-site investigations; no A/B (high risk) carriers • Phase II: Oct-08 to Jun-10 • Fully operational – all BASICs, all interventions, and issuing safety ratings

  20. Next Steps in Field Test • Additional states • May 2009: Minnesota, Montana, Oregon • 100% of the State participates in CSA 2010 • Offers a more accurate picture of efficiencies, capabilities and benefits • Tests integration with national program goals and Congressional mandates • Provides more data to evaluate test including workload and workforce analyses

  21. Preliminary Field Test Output Phase I & II: Feb ‘08 – Jan’09

  22. Preliminary Field Test Output Phase II: Oct ‘08 – Jan ‘09

  23. Preliminary Field Test OutputPhase II: Oct ‘08 – Jan ‘09

  24. Preliminary Field Test OutcomesEffectiveness of Interventions on Unsafe BASIC Performance of Test Group Carriers Deficient in Unsafe Driving BASIC After Being Intervened Upon in Feb-Mar ‘08

  25. Preliminary Field Test OutcomesEffectiveness of Interventions on Fatigue BASIC Performance of Test Group Carriers Deficient in Fatigued Driving BASIC After Being Intervened Upon in Feb-Mar ‘08

  26. Preliminary Field Test Outcomes Program Effectiveness: Control vs. Test Preliminary evaluation results indicate that the CSA 2010 process is better at identifying and correcting behaviors leading to crashes: 21% Of Test Carriers Compared to 7% of Control Carriers No Longer Deficient.

  27. Field Test: Warning Letter Feedback FMCSA has received positive results from test group motor carriers. • ~ 50 percent of carriers have logged onto website to view their performance data • Received written feedback • Appreciative of notification of safety deficiencies • Advised FMCSA of their implemented corrective actions

  28. Meeting the Challenge: Summary • New Safety Measurement System • More comprehensive • Better able to pinpoint specific violations • Better identifies high crash-risk behavior • New Interventions Toolbox • More efficient/effective enforcement process • Wider range of interventions to compel compliance earlier • Match intervention with level of safety performance • New Safety Fitness Determination rulemaking • Assess safety performance of larger segment of industry • Based on roadside performance, fundamental violations, and intervention results
