Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari visited a safety advisory panel meeting Tuesday and trucking leaders there took the opportunity to raise some industry concerns.
Porcari was on hand to thank the volunteer members of the Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee for their service. The panel of 20 representatives from trucking, the bus industry, law enforcement and safety advocates researches issues and offers recommendations to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
This week, for example, the committee is meeting with the agency’s Medical Review Board to discuss possible changes in how FMCSA handles Schedule II medications. It also is working on possible revisions to the CSA safety enforcement program.
