Bill > S1483

This bill requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator to conduct a feasibility study within 270 days of enactment regarding commuting time for TSA employees at airports. The study must examine how much time TSA employees spend traveling between their regular work locations and airport parking lots, bus stops, and transit stops at small, medium, and large hub airports. Specifically, the Administrator must analyze the average commuting time, potential benefits of treating this travel time as "on-duty" hours, the possibility of using mobile phone tracking or location data to verify employee arrival and departure times, and the estimated costs of compensating employees for this travel time, including potential retirement pay implications. The study will be submitted to the House Committee on Homeland Security and the Senate Committees on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. By requiring this comprehensive study, the bill aims to address commuting burdens faced by TSA employees and explore potential solutions to compensate them more fairly for time spent traveling to and from their work locations.
