The Women of Trucking Advisory Board Recommendations Report to Congress

Pursuant to Section 23007 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117-58), the Women of Trucking Advisory Board (WOTAB) Recommendations Report to Congress describes FMCSA’s actions to implement WOTAB's recommendations. In public meetings from November 2022 to November 2023, WOTAB’s members reviewed and deliberated on current industry practices concerning the education, training, mentorship, and outreach to women and identified barriers and industry trends that directly or indirectly discourage women from pursuing and retaining careers in the commercial motor vehicle industry. FMCSA agrees with WOTAB’s recommendations and is committed to working with the private sector and stakeholders to implement them. These issues are complex and require a government-private sector partnership to bring about long-term change to the motor carrier industry.
