PSP recognized for its Monitoring service fact
sheet
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) received an Honorable
Mention MarCom Award in the Marketing/Promotion/Materials category
for its fact sheet about the PSP Monitoring service. MarCom Awards
recognize outstanding achievement by creative professionals
involved in the concept, direction, design and production of
marketing, communication materials and programs.
This award marks the second win for PSP’s fact sheet design,
following a Gold Award earned in the Marketing/Promotion Campaign
category for a refreshed set of program fact sheets in 2017.
Over 6,500 entries were submitted from throughout the United
States, Canada and 18 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.
With the drivers’ written authorization, PSP provides immediate
online access to commercial drivers’ safety histories 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 PSP data and general oversight, while NIC Federal handles
daily operations, customer service and technology development and
maintenance.
The PSP Monitoring fact sheet helps FMCSA and NIC Federal
educate drivers about the service, which was launched earlier this
year. PSP data is updated approximately every 30 days with a new
data snapshot from the FMCSA Motor Carrier Management Information
System (MCMIS) database, many times updating a driver’s PSP record.
The monitoring service automatically notifies drivers when
information changes within their individual PSP record, eliminating
the need for drivers to check their records constantly.
“The PSP Monitoring fact sheet is extremely useful in spreading
the word to drivers about this simple option to stay informed about
their safety records,” said Laura Johnson, NIC Federal’s General
Manager. “We are proud that the MarCom Awards continue to single
out PSP for its strategically-designed materials.”
FMCSA and NIC Federal dedicate creative resources to encourage
driver participation in the monitoring program because drivers who
understand their PSP records can identify ways to improve their
individual safety performance. 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%, and driver out-of-service (OOS) rates
by 17%. 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.
