FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability program uses inspection, violation, crash, investigation, and registration data to support safety oversight. Carriers should review the underlying source records rather than treating one public number as a complete safety judgment.

Understand BASIC Data and Public Percentiles

The Safety Measurement System organizes available data into Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories. Public visibility, percentile availability, time weighting, peer grouping, data quality, and intervention thresholds vary. A percentile is not an FMCSA safety rating.

How Safety Data Can Affect a Carrier

Depending on the record and the reviewing party, safety data can:

  • Influence how insurers, shippers, and business partners evaluate risk
  • Contribute to FMCSA prioritization and intervention decisions
  • Reveal recurring driver, vehicle, maintenance, or HOS control problems
  • Require source-record correction through the appropriate DataQs process

Build a Source-Record Review

Reconcile the inspection report, violation code, driver and vehicle assignment, crash record, out-of-service information, supporting documents, and any already-filed DataQs request. Separate an incorrect record from a correct record that requires operational corrective action.

Document Corrective Action

Assign an owner, due date, evidence, training or maintenance step, dispatch control, and follow-up review. A challenge to a source record does not replace correction of a real safety-management problem.
