Consumer's Guide to purchasing professional motorcoach services. Online access to US government databases on carrier, vehicle, driver safety and credential information, e.g., SAFER, US government safety ratings of passenger carriers. Information on truck weight enforcement.

Fleet Safety / CSA

Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety.

Within the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Operational Model, the Safety Measurement System (SMS) quantifies the on-road safety performance of carriers and drivers to identify candidates for interventions, determine the specific safety problems the a carrier or driver exhibits, and to monitor whether safety problems are improving or worsening.

CSA replaces SafeStat with a the Safety Measurement System (SMS) that measures the previous two years of roadside violations and crash data. With the SMS, every inspection counts, not just out-of-service violations, and both driver and carrier safety performance are monitored.
