Under CSA, however, we will get a fuller picture that includes seven specific high risk factors: unsafe driving; fatigued driving; driver fitness; crash history; vehicle maintenance; improper loading and cargo, and controlled substances and alcohol. \n In the area of vehicle maintenance, most violations we see are with brakes, tires and lighting. The most commonly cited violations we hear about are tires with worn treads; lighting that's either defective or not working at all; and brakes - that are out of adjustment or are defective. \n We have tested CSA in nine states over a 30 month trial period. In this relatively short amount of time, we were able to conduct one-third more investigations with CSA than under our current approach. This capability alone helps to increase safety on our nation's roads! \n CSA is expected to go \"live\" in every state by the end of this year. At that time, roadside inspectors will use the new measurement system to identify carriers for inspection and to intervene on safety deficiencies to prevent roadway tragedies from happening in the first place. \n For more information about CSA 2010, I encourage you to our website: www.fmcsa.dot.gov/.", "contentHtml": "\r\n\tCSA will help us to more clearly determine motor carrier safety fitness and to better target enforcement efforts against unsafe operators.
