 Welcome to your weekly DOT Dispatch, where we break down the biggest moves from the U.S. Department of Transportation shaking up how we travel.

This week's top headline: Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy launched the Pro-Trucker Package, including pilot programs for Split Duty Periods and Flexible Sleeper Berth options. These let truckers pause their 14-hour driving window for 30 minutes to three hours or tweak rest splits beyond the usual 8/2 or 7/3 setups. As Duffy put it in the FMCSA announcement, it's about "enforcing commonsense rules of the road" under President Trump's Executive Order 14286, with protocols kicking off early 2026 and over 500 drivers joining.

Key developments are piling up fast. FMCSA's cracking down hard on non-domiciled CDLs after fatal crashes, yanking an estimated 90,000 nationwide with new visa checks and annual renewals—California even paused its program or risked federal highway funds, per CNS Protects reports. They're rolling out the MOTUS registration system for secure, glitch-free trucking data, and Amazon's tightening enforcement on carrier violation rates by February 2026. Look for autonomous truck rules by May, expanded Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse access, looser seizure standards for drivers, and paperwork cuts like ditching ELD manuals in cabs.

For everyday Americans, this means safer roads with fewer unqualified drivers and smarter tech like dynamic emergency corridors rolling out in major cities from January, per road update guides—potentially faster ambulance responses but some DMV lines for digital licenses. Truckers and businesses gain flexibility and less red tape, boosting retention amid tight labor markets, though fleets must invest in safety tech or lose gigs. States like California face pressure on speed limits and AV enforcement starting July, while the FY2026 BUILD grants signal billions for local infrastructure.

Experts note this regulatory realignment under Trump's deregulation push offsets new rules by axing old ones, creating a mixed bag of relief and adaptation.

Citizens, check your state's DMV for digital license timelines and comment on pilots at FMCSA notices—public input shapes these.

Watch for AV proposals in May and reauthorization talks through September. Dive deeper at transportation.gov or fmcsa.dot.gov.
