FMCSA Annual Grant Program Effectiveness Survey

FORM MCSA-5888
Background
The FMCSA intends to use this survey to collect non-sensitive information about your experience with the
Performance Registration Information System Management (PRISM) program. As a grant recipient, the
FMCSA is interested in hearing your views on the strengths and weaknesses of the program which will
hopefully provide us with concepts on how we can improve the program’s effectiveness. Your answers will
be confidential and used to determine if a consensus exists amongst PRISM grant recipients.
