FMCSA Announces Changes to Safety Measurement System (SMS)

Coming Soon: An Enhanced Safety Measurement System.

FMCSA is working on a re-design of the SMS web system to display the results of the new SMS methodology.

This enhanced SMS will build on the streamlined design of the CSA Prioritization Preview website.

FMCSA will make a follow-up announcement in the coming months with the anticipated date for the launch of the updated SMS web system.

As part of our commitment to continually improve our data-driven decision-making, FMCSA identified a set of changes to the Safety Measurement System (SMS) methodology used to prioritize carriers for Agency intervention.

On November 20, 2024, FMCSA announced the adoption of these changes and is currently updating the rest of the Agency's Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program to account for these changes. Read the Federal Register notice.

Why is FMCSA updating SMS?

The proposed changes are guided by FMCSA's continued commitment to making the system as fair, accurate, and clear as possible. With input from all stakeholders—including government at all levels, industry, non-profit/advocacy, researchers, and the public—FMCSA has identified a set of changes that build on the sound design of SMS.

How does this impact SMS today?

No changes will be implemented in SMS at this time. FMCSA will follow up in the coming months with the anticipated date for the launch of the new system. Until then, SMS will continue to be used to prioritize motor carriers for intervention.

Where can I learn about the proposed changes?

All the forthcoming approved changes to SMS are explained in detail on the CSA Prioritization Preview website.

Coming Soon: Public Q&A Webinars

FMCSA will be hosting a second series of webinars on the SMS changes. These webinars will be an opportunity for motor carriers to make sure they understand the changes, and how they will impact their SMS results, before the changes go into effect.

Information on the first webinar will be posted to the CSA Prioritization Preview website and sent to this email list in January 2025.
