Recommendations — what's driving each score
Vehicle out-of-service rate exceeds the national average · high impact
• Review recent inspections with out-of-service violations and fix the root causes with equipment and drivers
• Run a preventative-maintenance program; periodically inspect tires, brakes and lights
A high share of violations are occurring in Kittitas County, WA · medium impact
• Review the inspections from Kittitas County, WA to spot recurring issues
• Brief drivers running that lane; consider rerouting around the toughest enforcement corridors where practical
Seat belt violations are the leading contributor to Unsafe Driving · low impact
Seat belt 51% · Phone / texting 49%
• Zero-tolerance belt policy; verify with in-cab camera or spot checks
Projected: could improve up to 8 pts in ~12 months if worked down.
