• 10% of the vehicle miles traveled
• 11.8% of the crashes
• 12.1% of the traffic fatalities

CSA Safety Benefits• Identifies high risk carriers for intervention.• SMS BASIC effectively identifies carriers
more likely to be involved in crashes.• Assesses nearly 200,000 carriers that
account for 92% of reportable crashes, and 80% of CMVs.
• Reaches more carriers, earlier; 86,000 warning letters sent since CSA rollout.
• Annual roadside inspection violation rates have dropped 15% since CSA rollout.

Safety Fitness Determination
8
• Working to publish NPRM. • Propose expanding use of roadside
inspection data -- in addition to findings from investigations – to determine a safety fitness rating.
• Assess the safety fitness of a larger number of motor carriers on a monthly basis.
• Absolute score vs. relative score.• Assures an objective adjudication process.

Hours of Service• A naturalistic study comparing impacts of
restart provisions before and after July 1, 2013.
• Drivers from fleets of all sizes, operations, and industry sectors.
• Led by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute and leading experts on fatigue.
• OIG oversight and independent peer review.

Final Rule to be published in 2015. Benefits include: • Cut paperwork and save money• Easier to review driver hours-of-service
(HOS) records• Protect drivers from harassment • By improving hours of service compliance,
ELDs are estimated to prevent about 20 fatalities and over 400 injuries each year.

transportation intermediaries from pressuring drivers into violating FMCSA regulations.
• Includes procedures for reporting incidents of coercion.
• Sets rules of practice FMCSA to handle allegations.
