As required by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is proposing a three-year pilot program that allows a limited number of individuals between the ages of 18 and 21 to operate commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce if they received specified heavy-vehicle driver training while in military service and are sponsored by a participating motor carrier.

FMCSA is also proposing criteria for a working group to consult with the agency in conducting, monitoring and evaluating the pilot program.

The FMCSA seeks public input during the next 30 days on the pilot program as well as outlined procedural steps and a data collection plan.
