DOT and DHS Collaborate to Tackle Fraudulent CDL Schools, Enhancing Road Safety
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have launched a joint initiative to address fraudulent practices in commercial driver's license (CDL) schools. This collaboration aims to eliminate illegal activities and improve the integrity of the CDL system. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that over the past year, the DOT has removed more than 24,000 drivers from the roads for failing to meet language requirements and has canceled over 28,000 licenses issued illegally to foreign drivers. Additionally, the DOT has identified approximately 75 entry-level driver training schools suspected of fraudulent activities. DHS's Homeland Security Investigations will support the DOT in reviewing these schools. The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance road safety and ensure that only qualified drivers are on the roads.
