The public should expect energetic debate from opposing interests before a final rule is issued. We prepared an economic analysis on all the options considered. We believe the proposed rule is sound, but recognize that it is only a proposal. We are actively soliciting comments and alternatives to our proposal so we can use the best available information to develop a final rule. Comments also may be submitted to us by mail.
Safety is our highest priority.
It is what guides the Department of Transportation and it is how we are willing to be judged.
