Proposed FMCSA Updates: “CSA Basics” to “Compliance Categories” and More

How These FMCSA Changes Will Impact Your Day-to-Day Operations and What You Need to Do to Prepare for the New FMCSA Safety Measurement System Implementation

FMCSA Updates

Big changes are coming to the CSA Safety Measurement System. There’s no need to panic, though. We’ve made it easy to understand the proposed changes and what they mean for your transportation company. 

According to the FMCSA’s website, the proposed changes to the SMS were informed by the FMCSA’s commitment to fairness, accuracy, and clarity. There has been a lot of frustration with the current system. These proposed changes are FMCSA’s way of addressing carrier’s concerns while trying to hold similar carriers to the same standards, improve the quality of data available, and help carriers use the data to adopt safer behaviors. 

Proposed Changes

Under the proposed new SMS, the FMCSA would:

  • Simplify the severity weighting system with a scale of 1-2 instead of 1-10
  • Reorganize and rename the safety categories
  • Reduce the number of categories by grouping similar violations together
  • Make changes to the violation thresholds
  • Improve the accuracy of identifying high-risk carriers based on safety performance

The Severity Scale 

The FMCSA believes that the changes to the severity scale will simplify the system and help carriers better understand how the violation affected their score. According to their website, their analysis determined that “assigning customized weights to all violations was not as important as noting that the violation occurred.” In practice, the Severity Scale will drop from 1-10 for violations to 1-2. A 2 will be weighed against violations including OOS violations or Driver Disqualifying violations, while a 1 will be weighed against any other violations. 

Violation Thresholds 

The FMCSA is adjusting their Intervention Thresholds as follows. Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed and Vehicle Maintenance will follow the SMS Vehicle Maintenance BASIC thresholds. Driver Fitness thresholds will now be 80-90% for general carriers, 65-75% for passenger carriers, and 75-85% for hazmat carriers. Hazmat thresholds will be adjusted from 80% to 90% for all carrier types, according to the FMCSA website.

Roadside Violations 

In addition, the FMCSA updates is reorganizing their Roadside violations (previously over 2,000 codes) into approximately 100 violation groups. This would effectively group multiple violations into one set of data to be determined in the carrier’s score, rather than multiple single violations. For instance, multiple violations from Hours of Service would all be grouped together, earning a violation for the group, rather than individually. The individual violations will still appear on the report but would only be counted as one violation for purposes of prioritization by the FMCSA updates.

Segmentations and Violations 

The FMCSA updates is extending the segmentation of carriers by operation and type of vehicle into additional compliance categories. Their new methodology will maintain previous segmentation for Unsafe Driving and Crash Indicator BASICs, as well as adding segmentation for Hazmat by Cargo Tank and Non-Cargo Tank carriers, and Driver Fitness by Straight and Combination carriers. 

In addition, the FMCSA’s new methodology will only calculate percentiles into a compliance category if the carrier has received a roadside violation within the last 12 months. This will apply to Hours of Service, Vehicle Maintenance and Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed, Hazardous Materials, and Driver Fitness. 

Compliance Categories 

Under the changes, the CSA BASICs (Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories) will now be called “Compliance Categories” with Unsafe Driving now including Controlled Substances/Alcohol violations and Operating While Out-of-Service (OOS) violations. Vehicle Maintenance will be divided into Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed, and Vehicle Maintenance. Driver Observed violations are things that might be easily observed by the driver as part of a pre-trip inspection, or detected during a Walk-Around roadside inspection, with Vehicle Maintenance violations covering all other sorts of vehicle issues. 

Effects on Your SMS 

While the FMCSA is updating their SMS methodology, you’ll still be able to log in and view your results on the SMS website. The FMCSA will be hosting webinars to explain these changes, with a replay of the “Understanding Future Changes to SMS Part 1” and use the password 0gPz9q%p to view the webinar.

Changes Coming to FMCSA's CSA/SMS Methodology

Webinar Replay Video #83: FMCSA CSA-SMS Methodology

The FMCSA's proposed changes to the CSA program represent a significant shift in how safety scores are calculated and managed within the trucking industry. These modifications aim to create a more accurate and fair assessment system that better reflects carriers' actual safety performance. While the implementation timeline remains somewhat fluid, companies are encouraged to prepare for these changes by reviewing their current safety protocols and training programs. The webinar highlighted that successful adaptation to these new requirements will require a proactive approach to safety management and continuous driver education.

The discussion highlighted significant modifications to violation severity weights and their implications for carriers' safety scores. The experts also touched on the data queue system and its future role in light of these changes, emphasizing the importance of accurate reporting and proper documentation. The session concluded with a reminder about the upcoming International Road Check and the continuous commitment to improving highway safety through better regulatory frameworks and industry cooperation.

Understanding the SMS Crash Indicator BASIC

The Safety Measurement System (SMS) uses a sophisticated methodology to evaluate carriers’ crash histories and assign safety ratings. This critical component helps identify potential safety risks among commercial carriers. For more details on Crash Indicator please refer to the CSA Safety Measurement System (SMS) Methodology.

Segmentation and Classification

Carriers are initially divided into two main segments based on their vehicle composition:

  • Combination Segment: Carriers with 70% or more combination trucks/motor coach buses
  • Straight Segment: Carriers with more than 30% straight trucks/other vehicles

Safety Event Groups

For meaningful comparisons, carriers with two or more crashes are categorized into specific safety event groups based on their segment and crash frequency:

Combination Segment Groups:

  • Group 1: 2-3 crashes
  • Group 2: 4-6 crashes
  • Group 3: 7-16 crashes
  • Group 4: 17-45 crashes
  • Group 5: 46+ crashes

Straight Segment Groups:

  • Group 1: 2 crashes
  • Group 2: 3-4 crashes
  • Group 3: 5-8 crashes
  • Group 4: 9-26 crashes
  • Group 5: 27+ crashes

Percentile Ranking System

Within each safety event group, carriers are ranked based on their Crash Indicator BASIC measures. These rankings are converted to percentiles from 0 to 100, with higher percentiles indicating worse performance. Importantly, carriers without crashes in the previous 12 months are removed from the rankings, though those remaining maintain their calculated percentiles.

Intervention Thresholds

The system employs specific intervention thresholds that trigger regulatory attention:

  • Passenger Carriers: 50%
  • Hazardous Materials Carriers: 60%
  • General Carriers: 65%

When a carrier’s percentile meets or exceeds these thresholds, they receive a warning symbol, indicating the need for potential intervention or closer monitoring.

This comprehensive evaluation system ensures that carriers maintain high safety standards and helps regulatory bodies identify and address potential safety concerns in commercial transportation operations.

Unsafe Driving:

This category addresses behaviors such as speeding, reckless driving, and improper lane changes. Such actions increase the likelihood of accidents and are closely monitored to promote safer driving practices.

FAQs

The FMCSA Updates include simplifying the severity scale from 1-10 to 1-2, renaming BASICs to “Compliance Categories,” combining Unsafe Driving with Controlled Substances/Alcohol violations, and splitting Vehicle Maintenance into two categories.

Under the new FMCSA Updates, violations are now simply rated as either 1 (standard violations) or 2 (OOS violations or Driver Disqualifying violations), making it easier to understand how violations impact your safety score.

The FMCSA Updates have consolidated over 2,000 violation codes into approximately 100 violation groups. Multiple related violations are now counted as one violation for scoring purposes, though individual violations still appear on reports.

According to the new FMCSA Updates, carriers will only receive percentile calculations in compliance categories if they’ve had roadside violations within the last 12 months.

The FMCSA Updates specify Driver Fitness thresholds of 80-90% for general carriers, 65-75% for passenger carriers, and 75-85% for hazmat carriers. Hazmat thresholds are now 90% for all carrier types.

The FMCSA Updates have split Vehicle Maintenance into two categories: “Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed” for issues visible during pre-trip inspections, and “Vehicle Maintenance” for all other vehicle-related issues.

Yes, the FMCSA Updates allow continued access to your SMS results through the SMS website while the new methodology is being implemented.

Under the new FMCSA Updates, related violations (such as multiple HOS violations) are grouped together and counted as one violation for scoring purposes, though individual violations are still documented.

The FMCSA Updates include webinars, with replays available on their website. You can visit csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/prioritizationpreview for detailed information.

The FMCSA Updates maintain previous segmentation for Unsafe Driving and Crash Indicator BASICs, while adding new segmentation for Hazmat (Cargo Tank vs. Non-Cargo Tank) and Driver Fitness (Straight vs. Combination carriers).

Under the FMCSA Updates, only violations from the past 12 months will affect your compliance category percentiles for HOS, Vehicle Maintenance, Hazardous Materials, and Driver Fitness.

The FMCSA Updates now place greater emphasis on driver-observed violations through the new Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed category, making thorough pre-trip inspections more important than ever.

While the FMCSA Updates don’t directly control insurance rates, the simplified scoring system may make it easier for insurance companies to evaluate your safety performance and adjust rates accordingly.

Train drivers on the new FMCSA Updates, especially regarding the Vehicle Maintenance: Driver Observed category and the importance of pre-trip inspections. Emphasize that violations are now grouped but still individually documented.

The FMCSA Updates are being implemented gradually. Stay current by monitoring FMCSA announcements and attending their informational webinars for the most up-to-date timeline information.
