DOT Seeks Input on Outdated Regulations

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is calling on truckers, trade organizations, and small businesses to weigh in on reducing regulatory burdens while upholding safety and compliance standards. Aligned with President Donald Trump’s recent executive orders — including a “10-for-1” rule that requires identifying ten outdated regulations for every new one proposed — the initiative aims to ensure regulations are lawful, efficient, and do not delay critical transportation projects.

DOT is particularly interested in identifying rules that are outdated, ineffective, duplicative, or burdensome due to technological advancements or shifting industry practices. The effort supports broader goals outlined in Executive Orders 14219 and 14192, which focus on increasing government efficiency and fostering prosperity through deregulation.

Public comments are due by May 5 via regulations.gov. DOT has also established an ongoing email channel at Transportation.RegulatoryInfo@dot.gov for continued feedback. All submissions will help inform the agency’s regulatory framework and ensure administrative actions align with the national interest. Source: https://www.ttnews.com/
