Every year roughly 100,000 fatal and injury crashes occur in the United States involving large trucks and buses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation works to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA uses information that is collected on the frequency of approximately 900 different violations of safety regulations discovered during (mainly) roadside inspections to assess motor carriers' compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as to evaluate their compliance in comparison with their peers. Through use of this information, FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) identifies carriers to receive its available interventions in order to reduce the risk of crashes across all carriers. Improving Motor Carrier Safety Measurement examines the effectiveness of the use of the percentile ranks produced by SMS for identifying high-risk carriers, and if not, what alternatives might be preferred. In addition, this report evaluates the accuracy and sufficiency of the data used by SMS, to assess whether other approaches to identifying unsafe carriers would identify high-risk carriers more effectively, and to reflect on how members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes.

"This report documents the Safety Measurement System (SMS) methodology developed to support the Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (CSA) Initiative for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The SMS is one of the major tools for measureing the safety of individual motor carriers and commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. Such measures help identify and monitor safety problems as part of the CSA safety improvement process."--Preface (p. i).

This report is geared towards motor carriers and documents the Carrier Safety Measurement System (CSMS) methodology developed to support the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA)program for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).The SMS has two components. One component measures the safety of individual motor carriers, CSMS, which is documented in this report. CSMS results are fully available to the assessed carriers. A subset of the results is publicly available. The other component is the Driver Safety Measurement System (DSMS), which measures the safety of individual commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. The methodology for DSMS can be found in separate document at (http: //csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/Documents/Driver_SMSMethodology.pdf).DSMS results are strictly used as an investigative tool and are onlyavailable to law enforcement (i.e., DSMS results are not available to the public, motor carriers, or drivers

From 2009 to 2012, large commercial trucks and buses have averaged about 125,000 crashes per year, with about 78,000 injuries and over 4,100 fatalities. In 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) replaced its tool for identifying the riskiest carriers -- SafeStat -- with the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program. CSA is intended to reduce the number of motor carrier crashes by better targeting the highest risk carriers using information from roadside inspections and crash investigations. CSA includes the Safety Measurement System (SMS), a data-driven approach for identifying motor carriers at risk of causing a crash. This report examines the effectiveness of the CSA program in assessing safety risk for motor carriers. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.

In FY 2007, Federal and State enforcement personnel conducted more than 15,000 CRs on individual motor carriers. It is intended that through education, heightened safety regulation awareness, and the enforcement effects of the CR, carriers will improve the safety of their commercial vehicle operations and, ultimately, reduce the number and severity of crashes in which they are involved. The CR Effectiveness Model measures the direct impact of compliance reviews on carriers that received CRs. The model is based on the individual and cumulative “before and after” changes in the safety performance of carriers that received CRs in a given year. The model compares a motor carrier's crash rate in the 12 months following an onsite compliance review to its crash rate in the 12 months prior to that review. The model uses crash data reported by the States and power unit data reported by carriers or obtained during CRs to calculate both the before-CR and after-CR crash rates. This report documents the benefits derived from performing CRs on motor carriers in terms of crashes avoided, as well as lives saved and injuries prevented.

In FY 2008,Federal and State enforcement personnel conducted 14,906 compliance reviews (CRs) on individual motor carriers. It is intended that through education, heightened safety regulation awareness, and the enforcement effects of the CR, carriers will improve the safety of their commercial vehicle operations and, ultimately, reduce the number and severity of crashes in which they are involved.The CR Effectiveness Model measures the direct impact of compliance reviews on carriers that received CRs but not the “deterrent” effects (i.e., the “threat” of having a CR) on carriers that did not actually receive CRs. The model is based on the individual and cumulative “before and after” changes in the safety performance of carriers that received CRs in a given year. The model compares a motor carrier's crash rate in the 12 months following an onsite compliance review to its crash rate in the 12 months prior to that review. The model uses crash data reported by the States and power unit data reported by carriers or obtained during CRs to calculate both the before-CR and after-CR crash rates. This report documents the benefits derived from performing CRs on motor carriers in terms of crashes avoided, as well as lives saved and injuries prevented.
