The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently held three webinars for carriers, drivers, and other interested stakeholders to review the proposed redesign of the Agency’s Safety Measurement System (SMS) Website.  FMCSA’s goal with these changes is to   make this important information easier to understand for users.  The proposed redesign does not include changes to the SMS methodology.

Participants learned about the proposed changes, including new user-friendly features and performance tools, and received answers to frequently asked questions.  The PowerPoint presentation from these webinars is now available on FMCSA’s compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Website.

We encourage you to review the preview site and provide your comments by the end of the comment period as outlined in the Federal Register notice. To assist you, we recommend the following:
