Beyond Compliance Survey to High-Performing Carriers

[Date]

Dear Commercial Motor Vehicle Carrier:

On behalf of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), we are conducting a “Beyond Compliance” Study of motor carriers whose operations are among the safest in the industry. You have been identified as one of these exceptional carriers. As such, we are very interested in understanding the unique motor carrier safety program elements which so positively affect your safer operations.

As part of this study, we have designed a brief survey to capture these particular safety elements. Your response will help FMCSA identify which safety program elements contribute most to safe operations, and may also be included in developing a “Beyond Compliance” recognition and incentives program for motor carriers that exceed basic requirements for transportation safety. Results of the survey will be synthesized and presented to stakeholders in an information exchange webcast (include month/year).

The survey should take no longer than 40 minutes to complete; detailed instructions are provided in the Survey application introduction. The survey may be saved while in process and completed at a later time. The survey is being hosted by (specific application tool tbd) and utilizes a secure connection. Results of your survey will be non-attributable, identified only by a unique subject number. The results of the research study may be published, but your name, organization/department/title will not be recorded.

Please complete the survey by (DAY/DATE/YEAR).

Thank you for your help with this important effort.

Sincerely,
