PSP website recognized for quality and
achievement among transportation websites
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA)
Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) earned a Communicator Award
of Distinction in the Transportation Websites category for its
redesigned home page, www.psp.fmcsa.dot.gov. The Award of
Distinction is presented for projects that exceed industry
standards in quality and achievement.
The Communicator Awards is judged by the Academy of Interactive
and Visual Arts (AIVA) and is an annual competition honoring the
best in advertising, corporate communications, public relations and
identity work for print, video, interactive and audio. Receiving
over 6,000 entries from companies and agencies of all sizes, it is
one of the largest awards competitions of its kind in the
world.
This Communicator of Distinction Award is the PSP’s second
recognition from the AIVA.
PSP provides immediate online access to commercial drivers’
safety histories, with the driver’s 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 PSP data and general oversight, while NIC
Federal handles daily operations, customer service, and technology
development and maintenance.
“On the PSP website visitors can learn about the program, enroll
in PSP and quickly request driver records,” said Laura Johnson, NIC
Federal General Manager. “Our team presents a simple, effective
website that encourages usage. We are pleased that the Communicator
Awards recognized PSP.”
PSP 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% 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.
