CSA (Compliance, Safety and Accountability) was developed by the FMCSA as a replacement to the Safe Stat system. It is intended to reduce accidents caused by commercial trucks using a method of roadside inspections and progressive intervention. Using data from these inspections, carriers are measured against their peers and assigned a percentile ranking, or SMS (Safety Measurement System) score, in each of 7 BASIC safety categories.
