ATU wins legislative victory on stricter curbside carrier regulations

Submitted by atu 1512 on July 25, 2008 - 7:52am.

Initiated from a federal lawsuit against the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration) by Peter Pan and Greyhound for dereliction of duty regarding the FMCSA not penalizing curbside carriers for not being ADA compliant, rulings were made some time ago against the FMCSA for not conducting themselves properly.

Now, on July 14th, the US Senate through new legislation that was spearheaded by the ATU International political arm, REQUIRES federal regulators (i.e. FMCSA) to revoke licenses of commercial bus companies that do not comply with Americans with Disabilities Act. The US House, likewise, passed the measure, and now awaiting final signature from President.
