NATA
Pledges to Support Efforts to Eliminate Human Trafficking
|
|
|
This week, NATA signed a pledge, “Transportation
Leaders Against Human Trafficking,” that aims to raise awareness among the
traveling public by utilizing common messaging in targeted outreach campaigns.
The U.S. Department of Transportation reached out to leaders across all modes
of transportation to garner support for this important effort. NATA’s Vice
President of Government and Public Affairs Jonathon Freye will represent the
Association and its members - many of whom are already taking proactive steps
in eliminating human trafficking - at a kickoff event tomorrow at DOT
headquarters. The Association is working with NATA Compliance Services to
proliferate awareness and access to training by making it available in our
industry-leading Safety 1st Training Center platform.

Multiple Certificates Could Mean Multiple Drug Programs
|
| |
|
Verify with the FAA prior to combining your
D&A testing programs!
It may be possible for a single
company operating under multiple certificates to combine their drug and alcohol
testing programs. Certain requirements must be met, especially if combining part 135 and 145
testing programs, or combining part 121 or part 135
with part 91.147.
If combining the drug programs is
permissible, the operator must first contact its appropriate FAA inspector and
the FAA Abatement Division to ensure the right records are updated before
maintaining the combined program.
