CSA 2010 - A Safety Program for the Future

Comprehensive Saftey Analysis 2010, or CSA 2010, is a major Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve the effectiveness of FMCSA's compliance and enforcement programs. Its ultimate goal is to achieve a greater reduction in large truck and bus crashes, injuries, and fatalities, while making efficient use of the resources of FMCSA and its state partners.

CSA 2010 is the new method by which FMCSA and its state partners will manage compliance and enforcement programs. This new model will feagure a more comprehensive measurement system, a safety fitness determination methodology that is based on performance data and not necessarily tied to an on-site compliance review, and a broader array of progressive interventions.

For more information, visit the FMCSA website here: CSA 2010.

As always, your Truck Writers agent is prepared to help you with CSA 2010 or any of your other industry and insurance needs!
