CSA data are collected from which sources?

CSA data are collected from which sources?

• A. All of the Above
• B. FMCSA Investigations
• C. Roadside Inspections
• D. Law Enforcement Crash Reports

Answer: (A)

CSA data come from multiple inputs to accurately reflect safety performance. The main sources are roadside inspections, FMCSA investigations, and law-enforcement crash reports. Roadside inspections provide inspection results and violation codes that feed into safety scores. Investigations by FMCSA capture findings from enforcement actions. Crash reports supplied by law enforcement give details on crashes involving commercial vehicles, including contributing factors. Because data from all these streams are used to evaluate carriers, the correct choice is that CSA data come from all of the above.
