Evaluation of the CSA 2010 Operational Model Test

In accordance with its primary mission to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large
trucks and buses, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiated the
Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) Operational Model Test. The program
focused on initiating contact with more carriers and drivers, development of a new measurement
system to replace Motor Carrier Safety Status Measurement System (SafeStat), application of a
wider range of progressive interventions to correct high-risk behavior, and more efficient use of
Agency resources. The test ran for 29 months from February 2008 through June 2010.
This report is an evaluation of the CSA 2010 Operational Model Test, focusing on key
components of the model.
