Vigillo CEO Steve Bryan said federal trucking regulators are likely to unveil a new safety performance scoring system for carriers by 2019.
Under a recently enacted highway law, known as the FAST Act, Compliance, Safety, Accountability scores were removed from public view on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website.
The law requires the agency to oversee a comprehensive review of the CSA program and devise a plan to reform the way the scores are calculated. The process would include a review by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General, among others.
“If everything goes right on time, exactly as planned, we would have a new publicly available CSA system, including a system of doing crash reviews, by July of 2019. That’s the timeline as I see it,” Bryan said during a Dec. 17 webinar hosted by Three Points Insurance Group.
With CSA data temporarily unavailable for public view, Vigillo is offering companies similar data and applications.
For several years, trucking executives criticized the federal government’s CSA scoring system, claiming it misrepresented their firms’ safety records.
