Why does the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrations (FMCSA) new Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program emphasize driver safety enforcement?
Studies have shown that unsafe driver behavior, both on the part of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and other drivers, is a major contributor to CMV-related crashes. Some studies indicate that a small segment of the CMV driver population is involved in a disproportionately large number of crashes. As a result, FMCSA expanded its approach to identifying and addressing unsafe drivers during interventions with motor carriers.
