Moving Forward Act - In the House Democratic infrastructure proposal, NACD lobbied for general infrastructure improvements paired with revenue-stabilizing measures in addition to small changes to existing transportation law. NACD advocated for inclusion of the DRIVE Safe Act language into HR2 as well as changes proposed to the Hazmat title to clarify the status of goods in rail containers. NACD opposes the change to increase the minimum commercial motor vehicle insurance from $750,000 to $2,000,000. Rail Reform - In 2015, Congress passed S. 808, the Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act to reform the Surface Transportation Board (STB). The bill expanded the STB from three to five board members, whom the president appoints and Congress approves. NACD asks Congress to encourage the administration to expedite the STB confirmation process for greater preparation in addressing rail customer concerns. Patrick Fuchs and Marty Oberman have since been nominated and confirmed by Congress and are serving on the STB. The White House is reprocessing Michelle Schultzs paperwork for re-nomination, and Senate Democrats are starting to review potential democratic candidates to recommend to the White House. Congress must reauthorize the STB before it expires in 2020. Hearings were held in late-2019. Support of the DRIVE-Safe Act - On February 26, 2019, The Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act (H.R. 1374) was introduced in the House by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) also introduced the Senate companion bill (S. 569). Currently, 48 states allow individuals to obtain commercial driver licenses at age 18; however, those states prohibit drivers until they are 21 from moving goods across state lines. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers under the age of 21. For any the year-end omnibus-coronavirus emergency relief package, NACD advocated for the inclusion of the Senates infrastructure language in this package.

Moving Forward Act - In the House Democratic infrastructure proposal, NACD lobbied for general infrastructure improvements paired with revenue-stabilizing measures in addition to small changes to existing transportation law. NACD advocated for inclusion of the DRIVE Safe Act language into HR2 as well as changes proposed to the Hazmat title to clarify the status of goods in rail containers. NACD opposes the change to increase the minimum commercial motor vehicle insurance from $750,000 to $2,000,000. Rail Reform - In 2015, Congress passed S. 808, the Surface Transportation Board Reauthorization Act to reform the Surface Transportation Board (STB). The bill expanded the STB from three to five board members, whom the president appoints and Congress approves. NACD asks Congress to encourage the administration to expedite the STB confirmation process for greater preparation in addressing rail customer concerns. Patrick Fuchs and Marty Oberman have since been nominated and confirmed by Congress and are serving on the STB. The White House is reprocessing Michelle Schultzs paperwork for re-nomination, and Senate Democrats are starting to review potential democratic candidates to recommend to the White House. Congress must reauthorize the STB before it expires in 2020. Hearings were held in late-2019. Support of the DRIVE-Safe Act - On February 26, 2019, The Developing Responsible Individuals for a Vibrant Economy Act (H.R. 1374) was introduced in the House by Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) and Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX). Sen. Todd Young (R-IN) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) also introduced the Senate companion bill (S. 569). Currently, 48 states allow individuals to obtain commercial driver licenses at age 18; however, those states prohibit drivers until they are 21 from moving goods across state lines. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations relating to commercial motor vehicle drivers under the age of 21. For any additional coronavirus emergency relief package, NACD advocated for the inclusion of the Senates infrastructure language in this package.
