PSP fact sheets honored for outstanding
creative achievement
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) earned a Gold MarCom Award
in the Promotion/Marketing Materials category for its redesigned
program fact sheets. MarCom Awards recognize outstanding
achievement by creative professionals involved in the concept,
direction, design, and production of marketing and communications
materials and programs.
Over 6,500 entries were submitted from throughout the United
States, Canada, and 17 other countries. Judges are industry
professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent
exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a
benchmark for the industry.
PSP provides immediate online access to commercial drivers’
safety histories, with the drivers’ written authorization, to
assist motor carriers with the driver hiring process. FMCSA
contracts with NIC Federal, LLC to develop and maintain PSP. FMCSA
is responsible for all of the PSP data and general oversight, while
NIC Federal handles daily operations, customer service, and
technology development and maintenance. Representatives from FMCSA
and NIC Federal attend dozens of industry events each year to
inform the motor carrier industry about PSP’s safety benefits, and
PSP’s fact sheets play a critical role in educating carriers and
screening companies about the program.
“PSP fact sheets are integral to communicating PSP’s message at
industry events, in a memorable format that attendees can retain to
spread the word about the program themselves. This year’s fact
sheets have been effective, increasing program participation by 26
percent as compared to the same time period last year,” said Laura
Johnson, NIC Federal’s General Manager. “We are proud that PSP
receives recognition for its strategically designed materials.”
FMCSA and NIC Federal dedicate creative resources to encouraging
PSP adoption because the program has proven safety benefits.
According to a study released by FMCSA, PSP positively impacts the
safety of America's roadways. The study shows that motor carriers
using PSP have, on average, decreased crash rates by 8 percent, and
driver out-of-service (OOS) rates by 17 percent. It is estimated
that in the 12 months studied, the motor carrier group using PSP
prevented 863 crashes and more than 3,500 driver OOS incidents. The
results of the study can be found at:
