Summary
What This Bill Does
Directs TSA to study whether time spent traveling between airport duty stations and parking lots or transit stops should count as on-duty hours for TSA employees.
Who Benefits and How
TSA employees at airports could benefit if study leads to counting commute time as paid work time. Employees at large hub airports with long walks from parking benefit most.
Who Bears the Burden and How
TSA must complete study within 270 days. Federal budget would bear costs if policy is implemented. Taxpayers would fund additional compensation if commute time becomes creditable for retirement.
Key Provisions
- Feasibility study due within 270 days
- Must analyze travel time at small, medium, and large hub airports
- Consider mobile phone/location tracking for time reporting
- Estimate costs including retirement benefit implications
