A balanced transportation system that provides a viable alternative to travel by automobile or commercial airliner would reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil imports, and our dependency on foreign oil. Rail Infrastructure Bill References: H.R. 2571, H.R. 2572, H.R. 2726, S. 104. The IBEW supported the inclusion of an exemption to Hours of Service for USV drivers in the TEA-21 Reauthorization bill (Highway bill – unnumbered). The DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Standards Administration issued its final Hours of Service (HOS) that regulates the maximum driving time for operators of commercial motor vehicles (gross vehicle weight of 10,001 pounds or more). The intent of the rule was to improve highway safety and help reduce the number of truck crashes and related fatalities on our nation’s roads. However, drivers of utility service vehicles (USVs) who work for contractors and utilities have been ensnared in the rule, making it difficult for companies to respond to outages. The new rule’s limitation on driving hours makes it nearly impossible for daytime utility workers to be called out in the evenings to respond to emergencies. Restricting employees’ ability to restore telephone or electric service would have the effect of eroding the overall reliability of the telephone or electrical system. | General Services Administration (GSA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),SENATE,Transportation, Dept of (DOT) | 340000 | 0 | 0 | 2004-01-22T00:00:00-05:00 |
