The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has updated the CSA SMS website with the Nov. 17, 2017, results.
With these new results, motor carriers participating in FMCSA’s Crash Preventability Demonstration Program will continue to see the agency’s final determinations on SMS for crashes reviewed as part of the program. Logged-in carriers and enforcement users with crashes determined to be Not Preventable as part of the program can view measures and percentiles calculated both with and without those crashes.

Earlier this year the FMCSA launched a demonstration program to enable motor carriers to dispute the determination of certain truck crashes as “preventable.”
If at any time during the program, a party can refute a determination with documentation, they are instructed to send it to Crash.Preventability@dot.gov. The FMCSA may revise final determinations after consideration of additional information received.
