So, what is CSA?

CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) is a major safety measurement and reporting initiative of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Designed to replace the SafeStat program, earlier CSA was known as "Comprehensive Safety Analysis," or more commonly "CSA 2010."

CSA includes no new laws.

However, almost every aspect of the U.S. commercial motor freight industry is subject to new, expanded safety reporting and enforcement measures. New measures affect not only motor carriers (trucking companies), but also drivers who operate the equipment, shippers who hire carriers to move freight, and those who operate their own private fleets.

The overall goal of collecting this safety performance and equipment maintenance data is to reduce accidents by pinpointing and addressing areas of concern. The desired result: Safer highways for everyone.

Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles.

It introduces a new enforcement and compliance model that allows FMCSA and its State Partners to contact a larger number of carriers earlier in order to address safety problems before crashes occur.
