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 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

"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).

To reduce the number of crashes involving commercial motor carriers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Admin. (FMCSA) orders unsafe carriers out of service. To help keep these carriers off the road, FMCSA's voluntary Performance and Registration Info. Systems Management (PRISM) grant program helps states establish info. systems connections between state vehicle registration and FMCSA's safety databases. These connections provide states with up-to-date info. on carriers' safety status when carriers try to register or renew registrations with the state. This report examined: (1) PRISM's effectiveness; and (2) the potential to fully implement the program nationally. Charts and tables.
