TSA Commuting Fairness Act
HR 862, the TSA Commuting Fairness Act, requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to conduct a feasibility study on whether employees' commute time between duty locations and airport parking/transit stops should count as on-duty hours. The study, due within 270 days of enactment, must examine commute times at small, medium, and large hub airports, average commuting duration, potential employee and agency benefits, and practical tracking methods (like mobile location data). It also must assess costs, including retirement pay implications, for treating commute time as work hours. The study will be submitted to relevant House and Senate committees, but the bill itself does not change current policies.
