SMS Updated
FMCSA has updated the CSA SMS Website with the March 30, 2018 results.
Motor carriers participating in FMCSA’s Crash Preventability Demonstration Program will continue to see the Agency’s final determinations on SMS for crashes reviewed as part of the program. Logged-in carriers and enforcement users with crashes determined to be Not Preventable as part of the program can view measures and percentiles calculated with and without those crashes.
ELD Violations in SMS
As of April 1, 2018, violations related to Electronic Logging Device (ELD) regulations found during roadside inspections are being used in the SMS. These violations are not being applied retroactively; violations recorded prior to April 1, 2018 will not be counted in SMS. Motor carriers that have received ELD-related violations will start to see them reflected in their HOS Compliance BASIC in early May 2018 when the next monthly SMS results are released.
A complete list of the ELD violations and their severity weights is available in the SMS Appendix A spreadsheet. The SMS Methodology document will be updated following the May release.
