The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is looking at safety and how it will evaluate a carrier’s safety fitness in an entirely new way. Though FMCSA’s Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) is still in the testing stage, all signs indicate it will begin rolling out nationwide in November 2010. CSA 2010 implements a new Safety Measurement System (SMS) that measures the previous two years of roadside violations and crash data. With SMS, every inspection counts, not just out-of-service violations, and both driver and carrier safety performance are monitored. SMS will assess each carrier’s safety performance in each of seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs). ATA offers safety products that can help you better understand and manage your company’s approach to each CSA 2010 BASIC:
