Enforcement officials use CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) scores primarily to target specific drivers and assess performance. CSA scores are a critical component of the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) safety measurement system. They provide a quantitative measure of a driver's or carrier's safety performance based on various indicators, including crash records, inspection data, and violation history.

By analyzing these scores, enforcement officials can identify drivers or carriers that may pose a higher risk based on their safety performance indicators. This targeted approach allows for more efficient allocation of resources and intervention strategies, as officials can focus their efforts on those entities that may require additional scrutiny or support to improve safety outcomes.

In contrast, generating safety compliance reports, prioritizing funding for road improvements, and evaluating driver training programs may rely on data and insights from CSA scores but are not the primary purpose of the CSA scoring system itself. The main goal is to enhance road safety by identifying and addressing higher-risk drivers and carriers.
