FMCSA Releases New Shipper, Broker, and Insurer Resources

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program is now providing resources specifically geared towards shippers, brokers, and insurers about the agency's publicly available data. FMCSA makes three sources of safety and compliance data available to the public. These sources are the Safety and Fitness Electronic Records system; the Licensing and Insurance Online Website; and CSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS). The new resources for shippers, brokers, and insurers consist of two factsheets and one PowerPoint presentation.

FMCSA developed these new resources in response to feedback from safety stakeholders. One of the factsheets identifies and clarifies all three of FMCSA's publicly available data sources and the other factsheet offers important facts about CSA's SMS. In addition, the PowerPoint presentation gives an overview of FMCSA's publicly available data sources that includes screenshots from each of those sources. All three resources can be found at this link: https://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/resources.aspx?locationid=115.

FMCSA will continue answering questions and feedback about its CSA program. The CSA Website publishes new information regularly, so make sure to visit it to keep up-to-date.
