The bill adds requirements for operator workstations on certain fixed route buses.

  • 49 U.S.C. § 5329

    (f) Fixed Route Bus Operator Workstations.--Beginning 2 years after the date of enactment of this subsection, unless a recipient certifies that a labor organization representing the plurality of the frontline workforce employed by the recipient or, if applicable, employed by a contractor to the recipient, has agreed to waive this requirement with regard to the new fixed route bus being purchased with the requested Federal funds, the operator workstation of any new fixed route bus which is 30 or more feet in length with a useful life of 10 or more years purchased with Federal funds (with the exception of funds derived from section 5311) by a recipient shall be equipped with a barrier that-- "(1) reaches from the bus floor to the bus ceiling; "(2) is capable of fully enclosing the workstation and preventing the unwanted entry of persons, fluids, and objects into the workstation; and "(3) does not impede the operator's lines of sight from the workstation to the exterior of the bus.".

    This requires new fixed route buses to have specific safety barriers at the operator workstation unless waived by a labor organization.
