What this bill would do
The TSA Commuting Fairness Act aims to reduce commuting burdens on Transportation Security Administration employees. The bill directs the TSA Administrator to conduct a feasibility study regarding employee travel time. This study would look into treating the time spent traveling between regular duty locations and airport parking lots, bus, or transit stops as on-duty hours. The Administrator must submit the results of this study to specific House and Senate committees. The study must consider various factors including travel times at different airport hubs and estimated costs.
