SafeStat Online

SafeStat OnlineSafeStat is a process that measures the relative safety performance and compliance of individual motor carriers in 4 Safety Evaluation Areas (SEAs): Accident, Driver, Vehicle, and Safety Management.

Applications for SafeStat Online

Research performance of an individual carrier

Prepare for Compliance Review

Educate carrier management – SafeStat provides valuable information they can use to

monitor and improve their safety performance

– Full methodology available

File data challenges/improvements through DataQs

Background

Research on Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) related crashes points toward driver-related factors

“Our blueprint for the future … is to really focus on driver behavior; to restructure our [safety] programs so we focus more on drivers and move away from vehicles”

-Annette Sandberg, FMCSA Administrator, Nov 2005

There is no central collection of commercial driver safety performance and regulatory compliance

Objective

Make CMV driver safety performance and regulatory compliance data available to support FMCSA field and State enforcement programs and analysis to support rule making

Make possible the identification of high-risk drivers leading to increased motor carrier safety through effective safety program targeting

What is Driver Information Resource (DIR)?

Web-based lookup capability that provides easy access to individual CMV driver’s crash and inspection history

– Contains event data on ~3.6 million CMV drivers Monthly update with new snapshot of FMCSA MCMIS data

– Provides search capabilities and analytical capabilities

– Available to FMCSA field and state enforcement personnel
