Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety.

Within the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Operational Model, the Safety Measurement System (SMS) quantifies the on-road safety performance of carriers and drivers to identify candidates for interventions, determine the specific safety problems the a carrier or driver exhibits, and to monitor whether safety problems are improving or worsening.

CSA replaces SafeStat with a the Safety Measurement System (SMS) that measures the previous two years of roadside violations and crash data. With the SMS, every inspection counts, not just out-of-service violations, and both driver and carrier safety performance are monitored.
