CSA 2010 Rollout- When it all will happen

From Jason Stevenson at the Hoffman Group

It will be important for those in transportation insurance to know what CSA 2010 is ( previously explained) and when it will roll out. That does not mean the schedule won't be revised again.

• April 12 – November 30, 2010 – Motor carriers can preview their own data by seeing their roadside inspections/violations and crash events organized by Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Category (BASIC).
• Summer 2010
o June 30th – The Operational Model (Op-Model) Test will end.
o July – The four “50/50” Op-Model Test states, Colorado, Georgia, Missouri and New Jersey, will join the five 100% Op-Model Test states in implementing the program.
o August – Motor carriers will be able to see an assessment of their violations based on the new Carrier Safety Measurement System (CSMS) which will replace SafeStat later in 2010.
• Fall/Winter 2010
o SafeStat will be replaced by the CSMS. CSMS will be available to the public, including shippers and insurance companies.
o FMCSA/States will prioritize enforcement using the CSMS.
o FMCSA will begin to issue Warning Letters to carriers with deficient BASICs.
o Roadside inspectors will use the CSMS results to identify carriers for inspection.
• Winter 2010 - Safety Fitness Determination Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) is scheduled to be released.
• 2011 – Enforcement staff will be trained, and new interventions will be implemented State-by-State

I am working to understand all the acronyms myself. But I thought you should stay abreast of the situation.
