The document analyzes proposed changes to the CSA 3.0 methodology. Key changes include moving non-Hazmat cargo violations to the vehicle maintenance BASIC, renaming the cargo BASIC to HAZMAT and making it public, adding 115 new HAZMAT violations, and re-weighting many cargo violation severities lower in HAZMAT. This reduces unfair bias against carriers like flatbeds but may cause data sufficiency issues for large carriers under the new HAZMAT BASIC.

17. Key Findings:
• The Unfair Bias against flatbed carriers is gone
• The #1 Cargo Violation is now #41 (CSA Point Contributor) in Maintenance
• HAZMAT BASIC contains sparse data on the 118 new violations added
• Wholesale re-weighting (severity) of almost all Cargo violations, severity
DECREASED across the board with a single exception (a passenger violation
stayed the same)
• New HAZMAT BASIC is solely focused on placards and compliance (not safety
issues)
• Unintended Consequences:
• Data Sufficiency gives odd results – Alert Status for large carriers on very
few violations
• Unfair Bias against large carriers who do not specialize in HAZMAT (LTL and
others)
