Their SafeNY Risk Score (SNRS) is 6.9 out of 10, placing them in the ELEVATED band. SNRS is a composite of crash, negligence, mechanical, driver, and stability factors computed from public FMCSA records. This is a decision-support score, not a legal safety rating.

Where is GREENWOOD MOTOR LINES INC based?

Night-driving crash pattern

The SafeNY Night-Driving Pattern: of 554 documented crashes in the past 5 years, 171 occurred in dark conditions (no street lighting, partial lighting, or unknown roadway lighting). That's 30.9% of this carrier's crashes vs the FMCSA dataset baseline of 25.7%.

30.9% dark-condition share; statistically distinct from 25.7% baseline (p=0.005) but margin below the actionable threshold.

Method: One-sample binomial test against 25.7% baseline (FMCSA SMS Crash File 2026-04 Snapshot, n≈259k national records). p = 0.005. Dark-condition driving is regulated under 49 CFR § 392.14 (hazardous conditions); federal Hours-of-Service rules at 49 CFR § 395 limit consecutive driving hours and overlap with night-driving fatigue management.

Risk decomposition

Driven primarily by C-factor (crash rate) at 10.0/10, above the large-cohort median of 4.8.

Method: how this carrier's SafeNY SNRS was computed(expand for carrier-specific walkthrough)

The five factors below come from Greenwood Motor Lines Inc's actual FMCSA records. Each factor is a 0–10 score; the composition produces a 0–10 SNRS smoothed against the prior month's value (α = 0.40). The Bayesian step below leaves exposure_M-PUD symbolic; the closed-form denominator and a worked example are on /methodology#shrinkage.

Step 1 — Bayesian-shrunk crash rate

This carrier has 554 documented crashes in the past 5 years (17 fatal). The cohort prior (mean fatal rate for similar-sized fleets) is 0.272 events per million power-unit-days; after Bayesian shrinkage with prior strength w₀ = 10, this carrier's adjusted rate is 0.525.

\hat{r}_{\text{shrunk}} \;=\; \frac{10 \cdot 0.272 \;+\; 554}{10 \;+\; \text{exposure}_{\text{M-PUD}}} \;=\; 0.525

Step 2 — Five-factor SNRS_raw composition (B-method)

SNRS_{raw} \;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(C, N, M) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(C, N, M, D) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot S

\quad\;=\; 0.60 \cdot \max(10.0, 4.4, 1.6) \;+\; 0.30 \cdot \operatorname{median}(10.0, 4.4, 1.6, 1.3) \;+\; 0.10 \cdot 0.0 \;=\; 6.9

C Crash 10.0 · N Negligence 4.4 · M Mechanical 1.6 · D Driver 1.3 · S Stability 0.0

Step 3 — EMA smoothing against last month's value

SNRS \;=\; \alpha \cdot SNRS_{raw} \;+\; (1-\alpha) \cdot SNRS_{\text{prev}}, \quad \alpha = 0.40

For Greenwood Motor Lines Inc: SNRS_raw = 6.9 → smoothed SNRS = 6.9. (Prior month's smoothed value is the EMA weight; the first month of data uses raw without smoothing.)
