WASHINGTON, DC – The relationship between sleep, safety and driving continues to have a strong focus into 2016, as the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration announces that it will host three public feedback meetings to listen to drivers facing obstructive sleep apnea.
The sessions will focus on safety-sensitive driving positions in both rail and highway transport, aiming to understand the potential costs and benefits from regulatory actions that could address safety risks from obstructive sleep apnea.
The listening sessions will take place in:
A) Washington, DC, on Thursday, May 12, 2016, at the National Association of Home Builders, 1201 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005;
B) Chicago, IL, on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, at the Marriott Courtyard Chicago Downtown/River North, 30 E. Hubbard Street, Chicago, IL 60611; and
C) Los Angeles, CA, on Wednesday, May 25, 2016, at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites, 404 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
All sessions will run from 10:00 a.m. to noon and 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., local time. If all interested parties have had the opportunity to comment, the sessions may conclude early.
