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 award marks
the second gold win for PSP.
With the driver’s written authorization, PSP provides immediate
online access to commercial drivers’ safety histories to assist
motor carriers with the driver hiring process.
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%
and driver out-of-service (OOS) rates by 17%. 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.
FMCSA contracts with NIC Federal, LLC to develop and maintain
PSP. FMCSA is responsible for all PSP data and general oversight,
while NIC Federal handles daily operations, customer service, and
technology development and maintenance.
“PSP receives frequent updates to incorporate the latest
user-centered design principles,” said Laura Johnson, NIC Federal
General Manager. “Our team ensures that the PSP website is simple
to use and reliable, because it supports FMCSA’s goal to increase
safety on America’s roadways.”
