  1. FMCSA - Expanded PRISM Program September 2010 – Version 1

  2. Standard PRISM Program • Standard PRISM Program is for tracking safety status of: • IRP vehicles over 26,000 lbs. GVW • IRP vehicles with 3 or more axles (regardless of weight) • Does not include Non-IRP or Intrastate Vehicles • 36 States & D.C. currently in production with the Standard PRISM program

  3. Expanded PRISM Program Expanded PRISM Program is for tracking safety status of Non-IRP vehicles below 26,000 lbs. GVW Includes Non-IRP Interstate and Intrastate vehicles

  4. Importance of Expanded PRISM Over the past 2 years, several motor coach companies have been involved in fatal accidents Buses and smaller trucks need to be monitored just as other large commercial vehicles Provides the ability to track safety status of vehicles transporting people (i.e. tour buses, limos, etc)

  5. Importance of Expanded PRISM - Examples • Texas bus crash in 2008 kills 24 people • Bus was operating illegally and was not in compliance with safety standards • Angel Tours Bus should not have been in operation • Arizona Bus Crash in 2010 kills 6 people • Bus was operating with no legal authority for 11 months prior to crash – also had a history of safety violations • Tierra Santa Inc. should not have been in operation

  6. Expanded PRISM – Intrastate OOS • Ability to set Intrastate OOS flag on Intrastate carriers with crucial safety problems • State enforcement users can set the Intrastate OOS flag directly in MCMIS thru the FMCSA Portal • MCSIP Step 59 = Intrastate OOS • to be used by States with Expanded PRISM • will be included in PRISM Target File

  7. Expanded PRISM Funding & Costs PRISM Funding is available for States interested in an Expanded PRISM Program The costs associated are higher than the standard PRISM program, since many “Legacy” systems need to be modified (not just the IRP system)

  8. Expanded PRISM in Production Alaska was first State to develop an Expanded PRISM program and is currently in production Washington State is also currently in production Georgia is developing Implementation Plan

  9. How to Start? Contact the PRISM team Review the Expanded PRISM Implementation Guidelines PRISM team will provide on-site training session and help develop the Implementation Plan Must already be a fully implemented PRISM State “Level 3 - Green” in the Standard PRISM Program
