CSA Goes Live; Carriers Can Access Safety Scores

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration said Monday its Compliance Safety and Accountability system, which measures carriers’ safety records, is now live.

FMCSA said carriers’ safety scores are publicly available under CSA, which formerly stood for Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010, or CSA 2010.

“We worked closely with our partners in the motor vehicle community to develop this powerful new program,” FMCSA Administrator Anne Ferro said Monday.

“CSA is an important new tool that will help reduce commercial vehicle-related crashes and save lives,” she said in a statement.

Separately, a federal court has denied industry groups’ request to delay CSA implementation.
