We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Teamsters Take Action.

The short explanation of this alert was:

Despite strong Congressional disapproval, the Bush administration and Department of Transportation have announced their plans to move forward with the Mexican cross-border trucking pilot program very soon. 

 

As a recent Transportation Department Inspector General audit report revealed, this dangerous pilot program still does not meet all the safety conditions required by Congress. The safety of millions of Americans traveling on U.S. highways will be put in danger if these unsafe Mexican trucks are allowed to cross the border.

 

In May, the House of Representatives passed HR 1773, the Safe American Roads Act of 2007, which blocks the program until safety measures are met. It passed 411-3. Today, the bill sits in a Senate committee.  

 

Tell your Senators to act now and stop this pilot program until the DOT can assure your safety.
