  1. Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010 Overview and Oversize/Overweight DiscussionJune 2009

  2. Presentation Agenda • Brief Summary of CSA 2010 • New Operational Model: Measurement System and Interventions • Oversize/Overweight Violations and Impact to Carriers

  3. CSA 2010 Overview: The Safety Challenge FMCSA’s Safety Challenge: A growing carrier population and stable/unchanging FMCSA resources call for a more efficient and effective program The response: CSA 2010! CSA 2010 a pro-active safety program based on a scientific model, which • Promotes accountability and strong enforcement as top priorities • Extends FMCSA’s reach to more carriers and drivers with safety problems • Improves FMCSA’s ability to identify safety problems earlier through better use of data

  4. CSA 2010 Overview: How Does CSA 2010 Work? • New Safety Measurement System (SMS) • Improved ability to identify and target demonstrated safety problems • Broad array of interventions • Introduces some new tools that are less time consuming than CRs • Allows investigators to contact more carriers • Shifts investigator focus from not only “what” but “why” • Provides information to guide carriers to fix safety problems before crashes occur • CSA 2010 test and implementation • Being tested in 6 states, including Missouri, where 50% of the carrier population is covered • Full implementation scheduled for summer 2010

  5. CSA 2010 Overview: Measurement BASICs Measure carrier and driver performance using Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs): • Unsafe Driving • Fatigued Driving • Driver Fitness • Controlled Substances/Alcohol • Vehicle Maintenance • Improper Loading/Cargo • Crash Indicator

  6. CSA 2010 Overview: Major Changes

  7. New Op-model: Intervention Toolbox CSA 2010’s Comprehensive Intervention Process provides more tools to reach more carriers and compel safety compliance before crashes occur. • Warning Letters • Investigations • On-site comprehensive investigations (enhanced compliance review) • On-site focused investigations • Off-site investigations • Follow-on corrective actions • Out-of-Service (OOS) orders • Notice of Violation • Notice of Claim • Cooperative Safety Plan

  8. New Op-model: Intervention Toolbox Benefits

  9. New Op-model: Intervention Process Overview The Intervention Process is focused on the What, Why, and How

  10. New Op-model: Intervention Process Step 1 Step 1: Examine Measurement data that contributed to deficient Cargo Securement/Improper Loading BASIC

  11. New Op-model: Intervention Process Step 2 Step 2: Diagnose the safety issue through questioning, discussion and collaborative problem solving

  12. New Op-model: Intervention Process Step 3 Step 3: Share information with the carrier about the Safety Management Cycle with safety improvement practices that are appropriate to the given carrier’s safety issue; this step may be followed by enforcement action or other follow on intervention

  13. Oversize/Overweight Under CSA 2010 Oversize and overweight violations are included in SMS and therefore could result in a carrier investigation • In SafetStat 392.2W violations were only used if they were OOS. This was less than 1% of the time. • Since October in Missouri • 27 carriers were investigated with Cargo BASIC deficiencies • Of these 7 were only deficient in the Cargo BASIC

  14. Oversize/Overweight Violations Size & weight violations (392.2W) in SMS • Used in calculating Improper Loading/Cargo Securement BASIC • Are influential in determining problems for the BASIC: • Severity weight of “7” on 1 to 10 Scale • Constitutes over 40% of all violations cited within Improper Loading/Cargo Securement BASIC

  15. Re-Cap of Key Points CSA 2010 is pro-active in improving enforcement efficiencies and protecting lives. • Using roadside inspection results and crash reports, FMCSA will identify safety problems and will contact more carriers earlier. • Every inspection counts. • OS/OW violations will put carriers on FMCSA’s radar.
