The mission of today’s Our Roads, Our Safety Fair: Keeping America’s roads safe for every traveler 🤝🇺🇸

Thank you to the innovators and law enforcement agencies who are working tirelessly to put America First @FMCSA

When safety is the center, we all win.

[Representative Dave Taylor @RepDaveTaylor]

American families are the most precious cargo on our roads, and keeping them safe should be our top priority.

As Co-Chair of the bipartisan Congressional Trucking Caucus, I am proud to co-lead a resolution with @repscfigures supporting the designation of a national road safety week. With our trucking industry moving billions of tons of freight every year, road safety is a shared responsibility between passenger vehicle drivers, truck drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

I’m proud to stand with @repscfigures, @RepBost, @repdinatitus, @RepHageman, @RepMarcyKaptur, @RepShreve, @RepMcDowell, and @RepMaryMiller to promote best practices on the road so families and truckers alike can reach their destinations safely.

Today, we kick off Our Roads, Our Safety® Week! Hear from FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs as he discusses the power of partnerships and the shared responsibility we all have in making America’s roads safer.

Roadway safety is a team effort. By working together to share lifesaving information, model safe behaviors, and encourage responsible decisions behind the wheel, we can help protect everyone who travels our nation's roads.

Because America’s roads rely on all of us.

We are making a difference in roadway safety through strong partnerships. FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs met in Columbus, OH with @OSHP, @PUCOhio, and the @Ohio_Trucking to strengthen coordination and advance practical, data-driven CMV safety solutions.

[Secretary Sean Duffy @SecDuffy]

Update on the tragic bus crash in Virginia:

Five people are dead, including a 13-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy, after the driver of a motorcoach slammed into stopped traffic on I-95.

@FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs and our investigators are on the ground at the crash site working with the @NTSB.  

Local police confirm the driver of this motorcoach — a man from China who became a U.S. citizen — doesn’t speak English. He received his commercial drivers license from New York State in 2024.

Unacceptable. This is exactly why we are holding states’ accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can’t speak English.

If you can’t be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus.

Our investigators are reviewing New York licensing records, training documentation, and the driver's history. Any company, trainer, or school that contributed to putting an unqualified driver on the road will face intense scrutiny.

We’ll share more updates soon.

My prayers are with the loved ones of the innocent lives lost and those who were hurt in this horrific crime.

[Ryan Snyder @dcryansnyder]

Congrats Gator!!

[Representative Dave Taylor @RepDaveTaylor]

Michael “Gator” Herrod of Chillicothe, Ohio, recently surpassed one million miles as a truck driver, accident-free!

It’s outstanding truck drivers like him who set the standard of excellence in our trucking industry, and I will continue advocating for the needs of our hardworking truckers in Congress.

Congratulations, Michael!

[Rob Carpenter @RobCarpenter]

You might be surprised to find out that 4% of truckers operate on US highways without a valid CDL.

[Homeland Security @DHSgov]

This NEVER should have happened.

Criminal illegal alien Manvir Singh was behind the wheel of a semi-truck when he caused a crash that KILLED two innocent people.

This is ANOTHER example of why illegal aliens should NOT be allowed to operate trucks on our highways.

🚨 FMCSA Removes 12 ELDs 🚨

[Representative Dave Taylor @RepDaveTaylor]

It was an honor kicking off the first ever Congressional Trucking Caucus with an inaugural reception!

Generating $906 billion in revenue in 2024, the trucking industry employs about 8.4 million Americans through over 580,000 motor carriers. I was proud to co-found this caucus to create a forum for lawmakers to discuss challenges that face this industry, ensure safety on the road, and keep American families, industries, and supply chains moving forward.

Thanks to @TRUCKINGdotORG and @OOIDA for joining. I’m looking forward to working with industry leaders like them and my colleagues in Congress to make American roads safe again!
