New FMCSA proposes a Safety Measurement System





2/28/2023





FMCSA is making it possible for operators to preview their company through the lens of the proposed SMS at https://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/prioritizationpreview, through the CSA website, or the FMCSA portal. Operators can observe how the proposed methodology may impact their company’s prioritization results.


The SMS uses data from roadside inspections, crash reports and investigations to identify and prioritize for intervention the motor carriers that pose the greatest risk to safety. These latest FMCSA proposals aim to identify better the companies needing the most intervention and will help companies use this data to produce safer behaviors.


FMCSA strongly encourages stakeholders to participate in the preview and submit their comments to the public docket. To review the proposed changes, click here. Final comments are due March 16.
