How have roadside inspections been improved for CSA 2010 in terms of uniformity?
Under CSA 2010, the data collected at the roadside is more important than ever because it is used in the new Safety Measurement System to assess carriers’ safety performance. Thus, inspection and crash data that are reported to FMCSA must meet high standards of uniformity, completeness, accuracy, and timeliness. FMCSA has organized its effort to improve data quality into four core initiatives: • Train inspectors on how to make consistent documentation of roadside inspection and violation data. • Standardize processes for challenging data by providing procedural guidance on the management of the roadside data challenge process through the DataQs system. • Increase awareness of high-level goals of the inspection program by communicating to inspectors about how good inspections can support a systematic enforcement program and informing industry about the differences between screening and inspections. • Create system to ensure that inspectors use a uniform inspection selection process.
