HOURS OF SERVICE ISSUES

Though the Federal Hours of Service Law has been in effect since 1906 with no major revisions during the past thirty years, this law continues to be re-interpreted with new applications and rules being issued on a continuing basis.  The Federal Railroad Administration is responsible for administering the enforcement of this public law.  In this area, we will attempt to connect you though links to all of the current interpretations.

49 CFR Part 228 sets forth the regulations that the FRA and predecessor agencies have promulgated to administer this law.
