The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will implement in 2010 a new safety compliance system.
The agency’s Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 contains a new Safety Measurement System to replace the current SafeStat system, as well as new intervention options and a proposed change for evaluation through a new approach to the Safety Fitness Determination (SFD).
FMCSA proposes changing the safety determination by tying it to current safety performance, instead of today’s limitation to compliance review acute/critical violations. Also, under the new program, every carrier and driver will have a safety determination, instead of just carriers.

Considering that the proposed Part 395.16 regarding EOBRs stipulates requirements to download driver log data to police vehicles and weight stations, will another or the same Part of FMCSA regulations require download of safety related information in the future?
This was a very big part of the internal FMCSA discussions when 395.16 was created; and in fact the file contents is clearly defined. Only HOS data that is now accessible without a warrant is available. However, since 395.16 is not published, this is subject to change.
