ASSOCIATION INSIGHTS
Update from TIA President & CEO Anne Reinke
e have reached the halfway
point of the year. On the one hand, widespread vaccinations have allowed us to return to some sense of normal, pre-pandemic life. On the other hand, our TIA members are still in the throes of a months- long capacity crunch, which may well abate in the second half of the year but is still an ever-present reality today.
As we reach this halfway point in the year, let us reflect on some of what TIA has accomplished so far this year, and what TIA has left to do. As always, we are guided by our core values of transparency, humility, and integrity as we pursue our core functions of advocacy, education, protecting and safeguarding, and networking.
Advocacy
We have successfully included language in the House Surface Transportation
Reauthorization Act that would ask the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide guidance on what a dispatcher is and the role they play in the supply chain. That same legislation includes language that would require DOT to complete its Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) rulemaking to finally develop a reasonable and sustainable carrier rating system. And we saw bipartisan introduction of H.R. 3042, the Motor Carrier Safety Selection Standard, which would create an interim standard until the SFD was complete. We also signed on to an amicus brief at the request of C.H. Robinson that seeks to settle the law on negligent carrier selection.
Still To Do: We must continue our push to get a Senate companion bill to H.R. 3042 and to get the legislation enacted. We will continue to push to get our members to be included as part of the CT-PAT program. We will host the in-person 3PL Policy Forum on September 28–29 (
tianet.org/ meetings) to draw in our members to get these critical pieces of legislation across the finish line. And we will continue to push for the most robust TIAPAC to assist with all of our policy goals.
