Department of Transportation Seeks Nominations for Motor Carrier Advisory Groups

Today, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is seeking qualified individuals to serve on two important federal advisory groups: the Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee (MCSAC) and the Medical Review Board (MRB).

These committees give important advice and recommendations to FMCSA on safety programs, regulations, and policies. Their work supports the agency’s goal to reduce crashes, injuries, and deaths involving large trucks and buses.

The Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee assists the FMCSA with a range of issues related to commercial vehicle safety, including carrier operations, driver qualifications, hours of service, and emerging safety challenges.

The Medical Review Board provides expert medical advice to the FMCSA on physical qualification standards for commercial drivers. The board has five medical professionals with experience in occupational medicine, cardiology, neurology, sleep medicine, endocrinology, and mental health.
