Program recognized by Web Marketing Association
and Granicus
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) website earned two awards
this month: a Government Standard of Excellence award in the Web
Marketing Association’s 2018 WebAwards competition, and a
Continuous Improvement of Public Services award in the Granicus
Digital Strategy Award competition. The awards follow recent wins
in three Interactive Media Award categories.
PSP provides immediate online access to commercial drivers’
safety histories, with the drivers’ written authorization, to
assist motor carriers with the hiring process. 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 WebAwards “recognize the standard of excellence for which
all websites should strive.” PSP received above average scores from
industry experts in seven criteria covering Design, Innovation,
Content, Technology, Interactivity, Copywriting, and Ease of
Use.
One judge commented, “This is a very straightforward website
that gets its purpose across in a visually appealing way. The site
allows the user multiple ways to interact in order to get
answers.”
The Granicus Digital Strategy Award winners “implemented digital
strategies that demonstrated effective and innovative ways to
streamline processes, transform access to services, and improve the
citizen experience.” The Continuous Improvement of Public Services
category honors organizations that “made significant service
improvements to enhance the citizen experience with reduced wait
times or new records management to improve internal processes.”
Both awards recognized PSP’s recent system enhancements,
including a streamlined enrollment wizard, providing new users with
a simplified method to register for a PSP account in a few short
steps. Enrollments have skyrocketed since the wizard’s launch, with
most enrollment applications now submitted online.
“We are thrilled that the PSP website was honored by two more
award competitions this month,” said Laura Johnson, NIC Federal
General Manager. “These awards highlight our efforts to
successfully communicate with the motor carrier industry and the
public through an effective platform. We are constantly working to
implement modern features and present them in a straightforward
manner that fulfills our visitors’ needs and encourages
participation by the motor carrier industry.”
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:
