Design enhancements improve user experience
NIC Federal, LLC released a sleek new version of the mobile
application for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s
(FMCSA) Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) to improve the
experience for those who access the system via a mobile device.
PSP provides secure, instant 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 program leadership, while NIC
Federal handles daily operations, customer service, technology
development and maintenance, including strict adherence to federal
privacy requirements, and oversight of the mobile app.
The PSP app, compatible with Apple mobile devices, gives PSP
account holders the option to request and review driver requests
on-the-go. Users simply log in, fill in a driver’s name and license
information, and submit the record request. Driver records are
available immediately for review in a secure, mobile-friendly
format. The new attractive, modern look-and-feel makes navigation
easy, and echoes the style of the PSP website.
“In the motor carrier industry, the hiring process needs to move
fast to make sure companies keep their vehicles on the road and
under the operation of safe drivers,” said Laura Johnson, General
Manager of NIC Federal. “The PSP mobile app allows recruiters to
include PSP in hiring decisions occurring at remote office
locations or hiring events. Motor carriers can use the app to
consider safety in any hiring situation.”
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:
