The United States Department of Transportation is currently testing a new safety measurement and rating system called Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010. While CSA 2010 is not really changing the actual regulations, it will change how the DOT monitors carriers AND NOW DRIVERS and how safety ratings are applied. Full implementation begins this year and is going to have an impact on EVERY company regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CSA 2010 IMPLEMEMTATION
This message is to inform you that the CSA 2010 timelines have shifted a bit resulting in a more phased-in approach. As you know, the data preview is scheduled to be released to industry on April 12, 2010. From April 12, 2010 to November 30, 2010, motor carriers will be able to preview their performance data. Full implementation of FMCSA's more comprehensive carrier safety measurement system (CSMS) will be rolled out effective November 30, 2010, at which time the motor carrier BASICs will be available to the public. CSMS will include assignment and prioritization. Also beginning November 30, 2010, warning letters will be mailed nationwide, along with deficient BASICs information being sent to the roadside. The nine (9) test states will continue administering the full array of CSA 2010 interventions. However, for the remaining forty-one(41) states the CSA 2010 interventions will be phased in beginning spring /summer 2011.
