TSA Commuting Fairness Act

# TSA Commuting Fairness Act Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to study whether the time its airport employees spend commuting between different work locations, parking lots, and public transit stops should count as paid work time. Currently, TSA workers don't get paid for this travel time, even though it's necessary to perform their jobs at airports. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily affects TSA employees stationed at airports. It's a relatively modest measure—it doesn't change any current policies, but instead directs the TSA to investigate the feasibility of counting commute time as "on-duty hours" and report back to Congress.

This would help lawmakers understand the costs and logistics of such a change before deciding whether to implement it. **Current Status** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is now pending consideration in the Senate. It was sponsored by Rep. Timothy Kennedy (D-NY).
