Bill > HR862

This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study within 270 days of enactment, examining the potential for treating TSA employees' travel time between their regular duty locations and airport parking lots, bus stops, and transit stops as on-duty hours. The study will analyze commute times at small, medium, and large hub airports, evaluate the average commuting duration for TSA employees, and explore potential benefits of considering this travel time as compensable work time. The research will also investigate technological methods like mobile phones and location data for tracking employee arrivals and departures, assess the estimated costs of such a policy (including potential retirement pay implications), and consider any additional relevant factors the Administrator deems appropriate. The study results will be submitted to key congressional committees in the House and Senate, specifically the Committee on Homeland Security and related transportation committees, with the broader goal of reducing commuting burdens on TSA employees.
