## Why CSA 2010?

**Notes:**
A graph showing number of fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled by year.  The years shown are 1975 through 2005.  The graph shows a gradual reduction in the fatality rate from 1980 to 2005.  The graph also points to motor carrier programs that came into place during a particular year.  These are:  the roadside inspection program in 1984; CR/Safety Rating in 1986; and PRISM SafeStat On-Line in 1999.

## Current Business Limitations

- Safety fitness determination tied to compliance review.
- Very labor intensive.
- _Result_:  We assess only small fraction of industry.
- Focus is on carriers.

## CSA 2010 Approach

- 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.

**CSA 2010 Proposed Operational Model**

**Notes:**
A flow chart showing the interrelationship among the major components of the CSA 2010 operational model.  Under the proposed model, motor carrier compliance activities and reports feed into safety data.  Safety data, in turn, is used to measure a carrier’s safety performance.  Based on the resulting safety evaluation, a carrier could be selected for an intervention.  In addition, a carrier could be assigned a rating of   1) continue to operate; 2) marginal; or 3) unfit.

## Paradigm Shift

- Carriers with Bad Performance

**Entities Addressed **
**by Current FMCSA Process**

**Additional Entities **
**to be Influenced by **
**CSA 2010**

**Majority of crashes **
**occur here**

- Everyone Else

- Carriers with Good Performance

**CSA 2010 Goal**

**Notes:**
A bell curve graphic that shows a goal of CSA 2010: Getting carriers to improve their safety performance.

## Potential Benefits – CSA 2010

- Maximize effectiveness of agency resources.
- Correct unsafe behavior early.
- Assess larger segment of industry.
- _Achieve Goal_:  Greater reduction in large truck and bus related fatalities.

## CSA 2010 Measurement Systems

- Measurement System Purpose ---
- To identify specific safety problems
- To measure & monitor safety behavior
- To “trigger” the intervention process & safety fitness determination
- To provide stakeholders important safety information
- Status ---
- Two Separate Measurement Systems – Prototype Stage
- Carriers
- Drivers
- Potential to add others

## Unsafe Driving (Parts 392 & 397)
Fatigued Driving (Parts 392 & 395)
Driver Fitness (Parts 383 & 391)
Controlled Substances /Alcohol (Part 392)
Vehicle Maintenance (Parts 393 & 396)
Improper Loading/Cargo (Parts 392, 393, 397 & HM)
Crash Indicator

- Fatigued Driving (Parts 392 & 395)
- Driver Fitness (Parts 383 & 391)
- Controlled Substances /Alcohol (Part 392)
- Vehicle Maintenance (Parts 393 & 396)
- Improper Loading/Cargo (Parts 392, 393, 397 & HM)
- Crash Indicator

**Behavior Analysis & Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs)**

- Concept of Measurement Methodology

## Safety Measurement Methodology vs. SafeStat

| Today’s Model SafeStat | CSA 2010’s SMS |
| --- | --- |
| Organized in general areas (4 SEAs) | Organized by behaviors (7 BASICs) |
| Identifies carriers for CR | Identifies safety problems in the same structure that CSA 2010 fixes the problems (Intervention by BASIC) |
| Uses only OOS and moving violations from inspections | Emphasizes on-road performance, using all safety-based inspection violations |
| No impact on safety rating | Used to propose adverse safety fitness determination
Proposed Rating Based Solely on Carriers Own Data |
| No risk based violation weightings | Risk based violation weightings |
| Assesses carriers only | Distinct systems assess carriers (CSMS) and individual drivers (DSMS) |

**Notes:**

- SAMPLE – Demonstration Model Only

**Notes:**
A screen shot from the CSA 2010 measurement system that shows an unnamed carrier that exceeded the threshold for four out of the seven BASICs.  

## Interventions

| Today’s Model  | CSA 2010 Interventions |
| --- | --- |
| Limited to compliance review (CR); complete review needed to rate carrier
 | Broad array of progressive interventions
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 |
| CR is resource intense
 | More interventions; many less resource intense (e.g. off-site)
 |
| CR assesses broad compliance through rigid set of acute/critical regulations
 | Interventions target unsafe behavior
 |
| Generally, audit approach | Investigative approach; root cause and educational element |

## Interventions – The First Six Months(as of July 31, 2008)

-   *Discontinued  (due to Inactive Carriers, Improper Registration, Bad Address (WL) etc.)
-    **Completed warning letters denote those that were initiated in the CSI System and generated in the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS)
-   ***NOC’s are counted after upload to Enforcement Management Information System (EMIS) and completed are those listed as ‘Closed – with Enforcement)
