AI Summary

This bill requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to establish an advisory board, known as the "Women of Trucking Advisory Board," to promote organizations and programs that provide education, training, mentorship, or outreach to women in the trucking industry, as well as recruit, retain, or advance women in the industry. The board will be composed of representatives from large, mid-size, and small trucking companies, nonprofit organizations, trucking business associations, independent owner-operators, professional women truck drivers, and higher education or trucking trade schools. The board will identify barriers and industry trends that discourage women from pursuing and retaining careers in trucking, and recommend strategies for the FMCSA to address these issues and enhance opportunities for women in the industry.
