May 18, 2010: NLA Members Get First Hand Reports from Federal Agenices at DC Meetings
More than 50 NLA members, including members of the Board of Directors and many state/regional association presidents, received a series of briefings from federal agency officials on April 27-28 in Washington, D.C., immediately preceding the NLA group’s visits to legislators and key staffers on Capitol Hill.
Reporting first hand to the NLA were Dick Blewett, Deputy Director of the Office of Financial Assistance, Small Business Administration, who described the financial programs that are available for small companies, Chuck Horan, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, who outlined the new performance standards for electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) installed in commercial motor vehicles (CMVs), Bruce Andrews from the Senate Commerce Committee, who discussed the RIDE Act and distracted driving from the purview of his committee which has oversight over the Department of Transportation, Bill Coleman, Deputy Program Manager, CSA 2010, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Department of Transportation, who detailed the CSA 2010 initiative that is due to be fully rolled out by year end, and Nancy Leppink, Acting Administrator, Wage and Hour Division, Department of Labor, who commented on the fiscal year 2011 federal budget proposal that contains provisions to combat misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
April 27, 2010: NLA goes to Washington
Aristocat Transportation is off to Washington DC this week for “Day on the Hill” to support fellow NLA members for legislation. It’s going to be a busy and amazing week. To find out more about Day on the Hill, be sure to read about NLA’s goals at LCT mag.
The annual sojourn of industry leaders to Capitol Hill this year will include direct talks with key federal agencies that regulate chauffeured transportation.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Leaders and lobbyists of the NATIONAL LIMOUSINE ASSOCIATION and key industry associations nationwide will meet with Congressional staff members and federal bureaucrats Wednesday, April 28 as part of the NLA’s annual Day On The Hill legislative effort.
The event takes a wider approach this year, with industry leaders dividing their time between Capitol Hill and key federal agencies that administer and enforce rules governing chauffeured transportation. About 40 NLA board members, industry association presidents, and lobbyists are expected to attend the event, which will be preceded by a quarterly NLA board of directors meeting and related briefings on Tuesday, April 27.
“We will spend as much time sitting down with the agencies since they have issues that affect so many operators in the NLA,” NLA President Diane Forgy said. “It will give us a broader understanding of what to prepare for in the future. It’s good to have that communication.”
NLA Day On The Hill typically involves sub-dividing the NLA members and association presidents into lobbying teams that then visit the offices of various Congressional representatives influential in advocating on behalf of chauffeured transportation interests. The NLA tries to target those members who serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Senate Commerce Committee, and the Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee, all of which routinely deal with transportation related legislation.
Since the last Day On the Hill on June 9, 2009, the political climate has grown more unpredictable, with health care battles and passage in an election year either disrupting or crowding out other measures for now.
