The U.S. House and Senate are currently considering legislation for highly autonomous vehicles. One of the issues being debated is whether fleet managers will have real-time access to vehicle- and engine-generated data, which NAFA believes is a critical need. The immediate question is whether Congressional leaders will include data access in the final legislation. NAFA is collaborating with allied organizations to urge the House and Senate to integrate an amendment into the final bill to do that. You can make your voice heard on this important subject.

In late-2017, federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced a Canadian regulation on electronic logging devices (ELDs) for north-of-the-border fleets and smaller operators. A week before Christmas, Garneau partnered with provincial counterparts in announcing the ELDs would be required in Canada by 2020, with existing devices allowed to run until 2022. The announcement was anticipated by the industry, much of which was keen to harmonize with the United States, whose own requirement came into effect late in 2017, three years ahead of the Canadian rule.
