The American Trucking Associations applauded The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration\u2019s proposed changes<\/a> to its Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program, but insists there’s much more that needs to be done to fix the rule.<\/p>\n

In a press release, called on the FMCSA to accelerate the agency\u2019s efforts to integrate more risk-based assessments into its enforcement programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate the department and FMCSA finally making public the report and recommendations the independent review team submitted to the Secretary of Transportation last July,\u201d said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. \u201cIt is clear that, since receiving it last summer, FMCSA has been taking some positive steps to respond accordingly.\u00a0 It\u2019s also clear that much more remains to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Heavy Duty Trucking<\/em>, ATA\u2019s latest appeal comes in the wake of a report issued by an independent review team looking into two specific National Transportation Safety Board recommendations. During investigations of four serious commercial motor vehicle crashes, NTSB found that FMCSA had failed to identify significant safety issues<\/a> during prior audits of the motor carriers involved in the crashes.<\/p>\n

\u201cATA is particularly pleased that the Independent Review Team highlighted the critical need for FMCSA to better align compliance and enforcement programs with the risks that actually cause crashes,\u201d said ATA Executive Vice President and Chief of Advocacy Dave Osiecki. \u201cA number of stakeholders, including the Government Accountability Office, have observed the agency is often focused on compliance issues that do not bear a relationship to crash risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report presents a range of recommendations relating to the CSA program, more efficient use of field enforcement resources, ways to make on-site compliance reviews more effective and measures to incent carrier-based, non-regulatory safety initiatives. For instance, the report points out CSA could be more effective if behaviors directly and immediately connected to crash risk were separated from \u201cform and manner\u201d compliance issues, notes ATA.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the interest of preventing CMV crashes, FMCSA should make a greater commitment to be \u201crisk-based\u201d and reform its compliance and enforcement programs accordingly,\u201d Osiecki said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
