Whatis the meaning and function of the HMIS?
HMIS – (Hazardous Materials Information System)
The HMIS is a FMCSA system used to convey important information and regulations so that
carriers and their employees (drivers) meet or exceed highway safety, security on road and off
road; in addition to assist in the safe over the road transportation of commerce throughout the
U.S and the world through the hazardous materials communication and information system
which is a necessary and mandatory training system a carrier maintains to ensure the safe
transportation of their individual commodities; whether they be dry-goods or Hazardous
Materials.
This training is to be completed and filed appropriately:
 In conception or hiring of a new employee within and not to exceed the first 90 days of
on road and off-road training and employment.
 Integrate a reoccurring/reevaluation training system every 3 years that re-communicates
the HMIS and other training requirements as a refresher of the current hazardous
communication as well as updated information regarding this training.
The HMIS is a well-designed system to assist in properly training employees in the full spectrum
of their workplace. Safety and Productivity work best together only if the skilled expert has all
the information to help guide them through their safely designed processes and procedures that
govern their safety, the safety of the motoring public, and the corporate bottom line.

What are the CSA’s and their FMCSA Mission Function?
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries,
and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles. It introduces a new enforcement and
compliance model that allows FMCSA and its State Partners to contact a larger number of
carriers earlier in order to address safety problems before crashes occur. Rolled out in December
2010, the program establishes a new nationwide system for making the roads safer for motor
carriers and the public alike!
In the development of the CSA program, FMCSA sought to incorporate several key attributes.
FLEXIBILITY – Adapt to a Changing Environment. Too accommodates changes to the
transportation environment, such as evolutions in technology and changes in programmatic
responsibilities.
EFFICIENCY – Maximize Use of Resources. Too improve Federal and State enforcement
staff productivity, as well as the safety performance of members of the motor carrier community.
EFFECTIVENESS – Improve Safety Performance. Identifies behaviors associated with
safety risk; focuses compliance, enforcement, and remediation efforts on those unsafe behaviors.
INNOVATION – Leverage Data and Technology, Too improve safety through the innovative
use of technology to track and update safety performance data.
EQUITABILITY – Be Fair and Unbiased. Assesses and evaluates motor carrier safety and
enforces Federal laws and safety regulations to ensure consistent treatment of similarly situated
members of the motor carrier community.

What is the Mission and Strategy of the FMCSA?
The primary mission of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is to reduce
crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.
The FMCSA was established as a separate administration within the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) on January 1, 2000, pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement
Act of 1999. FMCSA is headquartered in Washington, DC and employs more than 1,000 people
in all 50 States and the District of Columbia, all dedicated to improving the safety of commercial
motor vehicles (CMV) and saving lives.
Our Strategy
In carrying out its safety mandate to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks
and buses, FMCSA:
 Develops and enforces data-driven regulations that balance motor carrier (truck and bus
companies) safety with efficiency;
 Harnesses safety information systems to focus on higher risk carriers in enforcing the
safety regulations;
 Targets educational messages to carriers, commercial drivers, and the public; and
 Partners with stakeholders including Federal, State, and local enforcement agencies, the
motor carrier industry, safety groups, and organized labor on efforts to reduce bus and
truck-related crashes.
