CVISN Deployment Program
Problem How to Connect the Islands of
Technology (Information Systems and Networks)
Supporting Commercial Vehicle Operations?
Information systems were built primarily to allow
information to flow within a state agency,
resulting in difficulties in responding to
external requests for information sharing.
14
CVISN Deployment Program

• An interagency deployment program with Federal,
  State, and industry partners
• Integrates National, State, and carrier
  information systems
• Improves safety, simplifies processes, and
  provides savings

15
CVISN Level 1 Objectives
Screening
Safety Assurance
Credentialing
Supporting Themes

• Improved safety / targeted enforcement
• Improved operating productivity / reduced
  administrative costs
• Improved security

CVISN Deployment Where Are We Today? States have
made significant progress

• CVISN Planning and Design
• All States have received ITS/CVO training and are
  in one of three steps of deployment
• 49 States have developed ITS/CVO State Business
  Plans, 2 are developing them
• 41 States have completed CVISN Deployment
  Workshops
• 37 States have developed CVISN Program Plans and
  Top-Level System Designs

• CVISN Deployment
• All States use ASPEN and 42 States electronically
  exchange inspection and safety data with the
  Safety and Fitness Electronic Records system
• 33 States perform electronic credentialing for at
  least one CVO credential and have an interface
  with either the IRP or IFTA Clearinghouse
• 34 States perform electronic screening at one or
  more fixed or mobile inspection sites

18
U.S. DOTs Reauthorization Proposal
Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient
Transportation Equity Act of 2003 (SAFETEA)
Section 1704, CVISN Deployment

• Improve safety and productivity of commercial
  vehicles and drivers
• Reduce costs associated with CVO
• 25 million (Highway Trust Funds) per year
  (2004-2009) to support
• Deployment of core capabilities in all States
• Deployment of expanded capabilities

19
SAFETEA and CVISN

• Grants up to 2.5 million to deploy Core
  capabilities
• Complete planning and design steps
• Safety information exchange
• Interstate credentials administration
• Roadside electronic screening
• Grants up to 1.0 million for Expanded
  capabilities
• Deployed Core capabilities
• Improve safety and productivity of commercial
  vehicle operations
• Enhance transportation security

SAFETEA (Sections 9010-9013) also addresses
Heavy Vehicle Use Tax issues related to CVISN
deployment
20
Thoughts for the Future

• Complete CVISN deployment of core capabilities
  in all States
• Define operational concepts for enhanced CVISN
  capabilities
• Commercial driver information exchange
• Electronic screening at all major inspection
  sites
• High-risk carrier enforcement strategies
• Smart inspections
• Support customized State CVISN deployment
  efforts
• Expanded motor carrier safety information systems
• Expanded deployment of electronic motor carrier
  credentialing systems

21
As a Result

• Focus limited resources on high-risk and
  potentially suspect motor carriers, commercial
  drivers, and vehicles
• Ensure the secure operation of commercial
  vehicles, their drivers and cargo
• Better manage the flow of safe, legal commercial
  vehicle traffic on the nations transportation
  system
• Reduce unnecessary delay for commercial vehicle
  operations

32
WHAT IS PRISM ?

• Cooperative Federal/State Program to Link Motor
  Carrier Safety and Vehicle Registration
• Provides for State Suspension and Denial of IRP
  Plates in the event of a Federal Order to Cease
  Interstate Operations
• Uses SafeStat to identify and monitor high-risk
  motor carriers. Applies treatments commensurate
  with risk.
• Applies progressively harsher treatments to
  carriers that do not improve

33

34
PRISM TWO PROCESSES

• Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Process
• Commercial Vehicle Registration Process

35
Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Process (MCSIP)

• MCSIP- Process to Improve the Safety of High
  Risk Motor Carriers
• Ultimate Sanction is a Federal Order to Cease
  Interstate Transportation and concurrent State
  Registration Sanctions
• Target MCSIP Vehicles for Increased Roadside
  Inspections

36
Commercial Vehicle Registration Process

• International Registration Plan (IRP) Provides
  the Framework for the PRISM Program
• Identify the Motor Carrier Responsible for the
  Safety of Every Vehicle Registered through the
  IRP

37

ABC Express Trucking
Hey Bob Heres a good one for you. Some Clown
from the DOT just sent us a letter that says we
cant operate trucks across state lines.
39
ABC Express Trucking
Looks like Ill have to change our company name
to XYZ Express Trucking, get another USDOT
Number, and keep on trucking !
40
IRP State Registration OfficePlate Renewal Time
DOT Number Check The USDOT Number for XYZ
Express Trucking is A OK Vehicle Check Wait
a minute ! The Safer/PRISM database indicates
vehicles with these VIN s are linked to ABC
Express Trucking. Were gonna have to see a
transfer of title, a lease agreement to another
carrier, or some kind of evidence that ABC and
XYZ are not the same company.
41
Benefits of PRISM

• Improves Safety
• Improved Performance Required to Exit Program
• Accurate Identification of High-Risk Carriers
• Effectiveness Study Validates SafeStat Ability to
  Identify Carriers With Future Crash Risk
• Improved Efficiency and Productivity of Federal
  and State Resources
• CRs on Highest Risk Carriers
• Warning Letters

42
Benefits of PRISM

• Improved Data Accuracy
• Annual Census Updates through registration
  renewals
• Bar Codes Reduce Inspection Data Entry Errors
• Ability to Correct Non-Match Inspection and
  Accident Records through IRP registration records
• Customer Service
• Promotes one-stop shop for USDOT Number and
  Plates
• Accountability for Safety
• Every Interstate Truck Registered Must Have a
  U.S. DOT Number to identify entity responsible
  for safety.

43
How Does PRISM Relate to CVISN?

• Compatible Goals
• Focus Safety Enforcement Resources on High-Risk
  Operators
• Check Motor Carrier Data as part of IRP Renewal
  Process
• PRISM Focus is Safety Only
• Both Programs Utilize Safer as a Common Data
  Exchange Source
• Systems Developed for CVISN can be used to
  Support Some PRISM Requirements
• CVIEW
