Why is FMCSA updating SMS?
With input from all stakeholders—including government at all levels, industry, non-profit/advocacy, researchers, and the public—FMCSA has identified a set of changes that build on the sound design of SMS and improve its fairness, accuracy, and clarity.
Where can I learn about the approved changes?
All the forthcoming approved changes to SMS are explained in detail on the CSA Prioritization Preview website.
