Enhanced PSP home page honored for outstanding
design
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) earned a Gold Hermes Award
in the Electronic Media/Social Media/Interactive Media category for
its redesigned home page (www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov). The Hermes
Creative Awards (www.hermesawards.com) is an international
competition for creative professionals involved in the concept,
writing and design of traditional and emerging media. Hermes
Creative Awards recognizes outstanding work in the industry while
promoting the philanthropic nature of marketing and communication
professionals.
Approximately 6,500 entries were submitted from throughout the
United States and 21 other countries. Judges are industry
professionals who look for companies and individuals whose talent
exceeds a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a
benchmark for the industry.
PSP provides immediate online access to commercial drivers’
safety histories, with the drivers’ written authorization, to
assist motor carriers with the driver hiring process. FMCSA
contracts with NIC Federal, LLC to develop and maintain PSP. FMCSA
is responsible for all of the PSP data and general oversight, while
NIC Federal handles daily operations, customer service, and
technology development and maintenance.
“I am glad to see PSP’s home page recognized for its updated
design,” said Laura Johnson, NIC Federal General Manager. “The home
page is the first stop for motor carriers and drivers to learn more
about the program. It’s informative and inviting, which leads to
more participation. Effective design supports FMCSA’s goal to
increase usage and awareness of this important program.”
FMCSA and NIC Federal dedicate creative resources to encouraging
PSP adoption because the program has proven safety benefits.
According to a study released by FMCSA, PSP positively impacts the
safety of America's roadways. The study shows that motor carriers
using PSP have, on average, decreased crash rates by 8 percent, and
driver out-of-service (OOS) rates by 17 percent. It is estimated
that in the 12 months studied, the motor carrier group using PSP
prevented 863 crashes and more than 3,500 driver OOS incidents. The
results of the study can be found at:
