FMCSA proposes enhancements to Safety Measurement System's public website
While the Federal Register announcement responds to comments received following the June 29, 2015, notice, no changes will be implemented in the public SMS website display until after completion of the National Academies of Sciences Correlation Study as required by Section 5221 of the FAST Act.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced that a public preview of the latest proposed enhancements to the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Safety Measurement System (SMS) website will be published in the Federal Register this week, to be followed by a 60-day public comment period.
As first outlined in a June 29, 2015, Federal Register notice these proposed enhancements are a continuation of the agency’s longstanding efforts to provide law enforcement, the motor carrier industry, and motor carriers with more informative safety data.
While the Federal Register announcement responds to comments received following the June 29, 2015, notice, no changes will be implemented in the public SMS website display until after completion of the National Academies of Sciences Correlation Study as required by Section 5221 of the FAST Act.

FMCSA will hold four public online question and answer sessions, where participants will be able to ask questions about the preview and the proposed changes and receive real-time responses.
