Biden-era FMCSA’s final regulatory agenda

Jan. 6, 2025
The last regulatory push under the Biden administration details plans for a final AEB rule, proposed speed limiter rule, and more. However, regulators' priorities may change when Trump moves back into the White House.

The federal government’s latest regulatory agenda is out now, detailing agency plans for commercial vehicles' speed limiters, automated driving systems, and more.

The agenda shares all the current regulatory plans of the Department of Transportation and its agencies, including the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The agenda gives carriers a vague idea of what regulatory changes they can expect in the coming years.

This latest agenda, however, may not be so reliable. It is the last regulatory agenda under President Joe Biden’s DOT. With a new administration under President-elect Donald Trump only days away, DOT and FMCSA may soon change their priorities.
