RAIR offers a full suite of CSA services to analyze carriers' violations data, to determine the causes of the violations, to identify problematic trends, and to provide daily assistance in reducing violations and improving safety behaviors. The RAIR CSA Solution consists of four components: (1) education so company management and drivers clearly understand CSA; (2) data management that involves daily monitoring of data to identify errors that RAIR can challenge on behalf of motor carriers; (3) daily scores and trends plus ranking against peers and the RAIR database; and (4) prevention through ongoing evaluation and improvement of the behaviors that cause violations.

"CSA replaces SafeStat as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's tool to prioritize carriers for compliance reviews," ATA Senior Vice President Dave Osiecki said. "ATA is endorsing RAIR's CSA Solution because it helps carriers find the root causes of violations and pinpoint opportunities for improvement to ensure safety compliance and avoid an FMCSA intervention."

"Our clients are succeeding at improving their scores because we help them identify and improve their safety behaviors," said JJ Singh, president and CEO of RAIR. "We offer tools for defining and prioritizing opportunities for change, as well as tools for monitoring how changes to safety behaviors are impacting their BASICs."
