What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "TSA Commuting Fairness Act," aims to reduce commuting burdens on Transportation Security Administration employees. It directs the TSA Administrator to conduct a feasibility study regarding commuting time. Specifically, the study looks at treating the time employees spend traveling between their duty locations and airport parking or transit stops as on-duty hours. The Administrator must submit the results of this study to specific House and Senate committees.
