7. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)data-driven safety compliance and enforcement program Designed to improve safety and prevent commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crashes, fatalities, and injuries Helps carriers and drivers improve safety compliance, so everyone gets home safely What Is Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)?

8. Raising Your Company’s Safety Standard CSA’s Three Elements The Safety Measurement System (SMS) • Improves how FMCSA prioritizes carriers for intervention • Includes more safety data; all safety-based violations found during roadside inspections • Organizes safety behaviors into seven categories: Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) Interventions Process • Creates new, more efficient ways for FMCSA to interact with carriers and help bring them into compliance, e.g., warning letters and Focused Investigations • Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) • Current safety rating is coupled with an investigation • New SFD (via rulemaking) would incorporate roadside inspection data

9. The Safety Measurement System (SMS) • Helps FMCSA prioritize carriers for interventions • SMS results are updated once per month based on the prior 24 months • Violation and crash information are weighted based on their severity and when these events occurred • Motor carriers DO NOT inherit past violations of newly hired drivers • You can view carrier SMS results on FMCSA’s public website http://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/sms

10. The SMS (cont.) Learn the BASICs The SMS organizes carrier roadside inspection, crash, and investigation information into seven BASICs Your safety performance affects your company’s SMS results‒and your PSP record The BASICs are a good way to remember many of the safety rules you must follow Not Public Not Public

35. CY2014 Top 10 MotorcoachRoadside Inspection Violations (Pennsylvania Inspections)

36. Your safety performance keeps everyone safe on the road–including you • Your performance is part of your company’s record, so your safety record means a lot • It’s up to you to ensure your safety record is accurate • You have two different records: • State Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) • Federal Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) record Why Your Safety Record Matters

37. Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) Record • Screening tool that allows carriers and drivers to purchase a Federal inspection and crash history record, which includes: • Five years of reportable crashes • Three years of inspections – violations recorded on inspections and clean inspections • No Federal or State “score,” rating, or assessment associated with PSP • PSP does not directly impact your CDL • Carrier access to your record requires your consent • Obtain your record for a $10 fee at www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov or for free via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request

38. Ensure the Accuracy of Your Safety Information • State Information (citation/tickets) State Court • If you are aware of an error, contest citation information in State court; otherwise information goes on your MVR, possibly impacting your CDL • Federal Information (recorded violations) DataQs • Request a review of Federal information on your PSP via DataQs • Visit FMCSA’s DataQsWebsite: https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov/(register for free) • File a Request for Data Review (RDR) on an inspection and/or reportable crash • Provide supporting documentation when filing an RDR • RDRs are reviewed by the State where the inspection/crash occurred If you receive a Federal violation and a State citation/ticket for the same infraction: • Handle them separately using the methods listed above

39. Proposed Adjudicated Citations Policy • Improves the quality and uniformity of violation informationin FMCSAsystems (e.g., MCMIS) • Allows FMCSA to upload the results of State citations associated with violations that the court has adjudicated • Establishes specific procedures for processing RDRs for adjudicated citations • FMCSA invited industry and the public to provide feedback on proposed policy (Federal Register Notice, December 2, 2013)

40. Non-Government − Driver Safety Information • Third Parties and Carriers Evaluating Drivers • Carriers and independent third parties combine PSP and other driver information, and call it “CSA score” or “CSA driver scorecard” • This “score” or evaluation is NOT issued by the Federal or State government • There is no universal evaluation method • Ask your carrier how you are being evaluated

41. Take Away Points The SMS organizes carrier roadside inspection, crash, and investigation information into seven BASICs Your safety performance affects your company’s SMS results‒and your PSP record The BASICs are a good way to remember many of the safety rules you must follow Share Your Data with Drivers, Mechanics, President/Owner, all Employees…………….

45. National Registry of Cert. Medical Examiners What is the National Registry? • Requires all medical examiners be • Trained, tested and certified • Ensures • Medical examiners know qualification requirements • Medical standards, expiration dates, waivers, etc. • Drivers are properly examined

46. Why do we need a National Registry? • Make highways safer – reduce crashes • Ensure drivers are qualified - Investigations have shown that some drivers involved in crashes had disqualifying medical conditions • Ensure examiners are trained and certified to determine whether a CMV’s drivers health meets established standards.

47. National Registry of Cert. Medical Examiners • Rule applies to all drivers required to be examined • Not only CDL drivers • PA adopts most FMCSA regulations for intrastate activity • Rule doesn’t change physical qualification standards

48. National Registry of Cert. Medical Examiners Important Dates • National registry effective May 21, 2012 • Registration of medical examiners • Began August 20, 2012 • Compliance/Enforcement • Effective May 21, 2014

49. National Registry of Cert. Medical Examiners What this means to drivers/carriers • After May 21, 2014 • Interstate CMV drivers must obtain medical certification from a certified medical examiner • Medical cards obtained before May 21, 2014 remain valid • Same medical examination

50. Who are the Medical Examiners (MEs)? • Medical examiners are: • Medical professionals who make medical determinations based on FMCSA regulations and guidance • Licensed, certified, and/or registered in their State • Includes, but not limited to: • Doctors of Medicine and Osteopathy • Physician Assistants • Advanced Practice Nurses • Chiropractors
