SMS Safety Measurement System	The Motor Carrier Safety Measurement System (SMS) is a tool used by FMCSA and State partners to evaluate a carrier’s safety performance. Learn about the 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs).
Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance	The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is a not-for-profit organization, established to promote an environment free of commercial vehicle accidents and incidents. Our mission is to promote commercial motor vehicle safety and security by providing leadership to enforcement, industry and policy makers. This is accomplished by establishing effective transportation safety standards for motor carriers, drivers, vehicles, and inspectors through compliance, education, training, and enforcement programs.
Compliance, Safety, Accountability	Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles. It introduces a new enforcement and compliance model that allows FMCSA and its State Partners to contact a larger number of carriers earlier in order to address safety problems before crashes occur. Rolled out in December 2010, the program establishes a new nationwide system for making the roads safer for motor carriers and the public alike!
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration	The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under the U.S. Department of Transportation, was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970, as the successor to the National Highway Safety Bureau, to carry out safety programs under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 and the Highway Safety Act of 1966. The Vehicle Safety Act has subsequently been recodified under Title 49 of the U. S. Code in Chapter 301, Motor Vehicle Safety. NHTSA also carries out consumer programs established by the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act of 1972, which has been recodified in various Chapters under Title 49.
N.W. University Traffic Institute	Northwestern University Center for Public Safety was founded as the Traffic Institute in 1936 by an Evanston Police Commander with a vision. Franklin M. Kreml was determined to save lives on America’s roads. At that time, the number of motor vehicle deaths and injuries was skyrocketing. Despite the fact that there was no professional training in accident investigation for police officials, Commander Kreml found a way to reduce the number of accidents in Evanston so drastically that the National Safety Council declared Evanston “America’s Safest City.” Recognizing the need for high-quality training for traffic professionals across the nation, Mr. Kreml then established the Traffic Institute at Northwestern University. The Traffic Institute quickly became the world leader in traffic crash investigation and prevention and has maintained that reputation ever since.
Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) System	The Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) System offers company safety data to industry and the public over the internet. Access is provided free of charge to the Company Snapshot, a concise electronic record of a company’s identification, size, commodity information, and safety record, including the safety rating (if any), a roadside out-of-service inspection summary, and crash information. The company snapshot is available via an ad-hoc query (one carrier at a time).
Society of Automotive Engineers	The Society of Automotive Engineers has more than 90,000 members – engineers, business executives, educators, and students from more than 97 countries – who share information and exchange ideas for advancing the engineering of mobility systems.
