PSP receives top ranking in three
categories
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) website was selected as
“Best in Class” by the Interactive Media Awards (IMA) in three
categories: Government, Transportation, and Employment. This
competition recognizes the highest standards of excellence in
website design and development, and honors individuals and
organizations for their outstanding achievement.
IMA judges evaluate competitors on five criteria: Design,
Content, Feature Functionality, Usability, and Standards
Compliance. The “Best in Class” award is the highest award level
for websites that demonstrate strength in planning, execution, and
overall professionalism.
PSP provides immediate online access to commercial drivers’
safety histories, with the drivers’ written authorization, to
assist motor carriers with the driver hiring process. Recent system
enhancements include a streamlined enrollment wizard, providing new
users with a simplified method to register for a PSP account in a
few short steps. Enrollments have increased since the wizard’s
launch, and most enrollment applications are now submitted
online.
FMCSA contracts with NIC Federal, LLC to develop and maintain
PSP. FMCSA is responsible for the PSP data and general oversight,
while NIC Federal handles daily operations, customer service, and
technology development and maintenance.
“The PSP website is the central hub of the motor carrier
industry’s interaction with the program. Visitors can learn about
the program, sign up for an account, and quickly request driver
records,” said Laura Johnson, NIC Federal General Manager. “Our
team seeks to present a high-quality, easy-to-use system that
encourages maximum participation and usage of PSP’s informative
driver safety data. We are honored that the Interactive Media
Awards has recognized our efforts.”
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:
