SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

FMCSA was established as a separateadministration within the United StatesDepartment of Transportation (DOT) on

January 1, 2000, pursuant to the MotorCarrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999(Pub. L. 106159), with the safetymandate to reduce crashes, injuries, andfatalities involving commercial motorvehicles (CMVs).

FMCSA hosted a listening session tosolicit input for the development of itsnew draft Plan. Participants were askedto provide input on key challengesfacing the motor carrier industry, issuesfacing stakeholders, and concerns thatshould be considered by the Agency indeveloping its next 5-year StrategicPlan. The meeting was held on

September 8, 2010 (75 FR 53015, August30, 2010).

The new draft strategic plan, TheFederal Motor Carrier SafetyAdministration 20112016 StrategicPlan: Raising the Safety Bar, is theAgencys second since its inception.The plan establishes a new strategicframework for how FMCSA willcontinue to carry out its mission, toppriority, and mandateSafetyandplaces a greater emphasis on the overallCMV transportation life-cycle.

The CMV transportation life-cycleconcept encompasses the whole CMV

transportation system, including all theentities that control or influence theoperation of CMVs, and focuses on thespecific responsibilities of each partyinvolved in the transport and logisticssupply chain in improving CMV safetyfactors. This is a holistic view of safetythat includes factors such as CMV andpassenger-vehicle driver behavior,compliance systems, quality of roads,and vehicle technologies. This life-cycleapproach will directly address CMVtransportation challenges affectingdrivers, vehicles, infrastructure, and themanagement of operations. Individuals,

organizations, agencies, and otherentities that are part of the CMVtransportation life-cycle need to beaware of their impact on CMV safetyand take responsibility for that impact.

The Agencys goals and strategiesdeveloped under its new five-year Planare grouped into four strategic focusareas:

CMV Safety 1st Culture: Delivercomprehensive safety programs andpromote operating standards focused onfostering safety as the highest prioritywithin the CMV transportation life-

cycle. Recognize that, while safety isFMCSAs highest priority, the Agencymust also foster other important societalgoals within the CMV transportationindustry, including security, hazmatsafety, consumer protection, and otherDOT objectives.

Exponential Safety Power (SafetyXPower): Establish new partnerships and

develop policies and programspromoting opportunities to collaboratewith all stakeholders on CMV safetyinterventions. Build a coordinatednetwork of safety partners andstakeholders to advance a commonsafety agenda.

Using Comprehensive Data &Leveraging Technology: Improvestandards and systems to identify,collect, evaluate, and disseminate real-time performance data to all employees,customers, partners and stakeholders.Leverage research and emergingtechnologies to positively impact CMV

transportation safety.One FMCSA: Improve the strategic

management of programs and humancapital within FMCSA to build andsustain a diverse workforce and todevelop innovative solutions to theCMV transportation challenges of todayand tomorrow.
