The Safety Measurement System

Within the CSA 2010 OM, the Safety Measurement System (SMS) quantifies the on-road safety performance of individual entities to:

§ Identify entities for interventions. The SMS will be a key component in determining the inclusion of entities with significant safety problems into the CSA 2010 intervention process.

§ Determine the specific safety problems an entity exhibits. The SMS allows enforcement officers to identify the specific safety problems the system highlights and to surgically address them through a tailored set of interventions.

§ Monitor safety problems throughout the intervention process. The SMS will continuously monitor on-road performance to assess whether an entity‘s safety performance has improved enough for it to exit the intervention process, or if further intervention is warranted.

§ Support FMCSA‘s proposed Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) process. The SMS results can be an important factor in determining the safety fitness of entities. The SMS will identify the entities demonstrating the worst safety performance so they can be considered for an ―Unfit‖ safety determination. Details on the proposed process will be available as for public comment as part of upcoming Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
