19. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration GROW AMERICA Act The GROW AMERICA Act, or Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America, will: • support millions of American jobs repairing and modernizing our roads, bridges, railways, and transit systems; • help ensure that American businesses can compete effectively in the global economy and grow; and • pave the way forward by increasing access to the ladders of opportunity that help Americans get ahead.

20. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration FMCSA (Title V) – Key Focus Areas • Motorcoach Safety • Driver Compensation • Grant Program Restructuring

21. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Motorcoach Safety En Route Bus Inspections • Would expand locations under grant statute to require States to permit inspection of motorcoaches wherever food, shelter and sanitation for passengers can be provided Jurisdiction Over Passenger Brokers • Bus brokers would be required to register with FMCSA • Would help prevent unsafe bus companies from reorganizing as unregulated brokers and ensure transportation through authorized carriers only

22. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Driver Compensation • Current driver pay structure (by mile or trip), and unpaid time at shipper and receiver facilities, create dangerous pressures to exceed hours-of-service limits • Would authorize a rule to require certain truck and bus drivers be paid minimum hourly wage for on-duty not driving time • Only HOS log drivers would be affected • No amendment to Fair Labor Standards Act; pay would be in addition to pay required under FLSA

23. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Grant Program Restructuring • Would consolidate five grant programs into a single formula program • Eliminate wasteful duplication of State and Federal administrative processes • Grant programs affected: • Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) -- Basic and Incentive • Performance and Registration Information System Management (PRISM) • Safety Data Improvement • New Entrant Grants • Border Enforcement Grant • Would allow use of MCSAP funds to enforce household goods regulations • State participation in PRISM, Safety Data Improvement and New Entrant would become mandatory

24. Our Vision Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration • Save lives by striving toward a crash-free and fully accountable CMV transportation life-cycle.
