The U.S. Department of Transportation announced yesterday that it has taken regulatory measures to facilitate the safe and rapid transport of the much-anticipated COVID-19 vaccine. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration extended its emergency declaration offering hours-of-service relief to truckers who provide direct emergency assistance. That includes vaccines, medical supplies and equipment related to the prevention of COVID-19. The DOT also issued emergency regulatory relief for flight crews and aviation entities to facilitate uninterrupted flight operations in response to heavy air cargo demand.
