NSPE has completed its member survey regarding Department of Transportation regulations that impede the engineering profession. DOT is undergoing a regulatory review in cooperation with President Obama's January Executive Order, "Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review," which mandates all agencies to review their existing regulations to determine whether regulations are effectively promoting economic growth, job creation, and competitiveness without being unduly burdensome.

Thanks to the feedback NSPE received, NSPE was able to submit comments in time to speak at DOT's March 14 public meeting. A second request for member input validated NSPE's initial comments. NSPE appreciates those who took the time to provide feedback on this important issue.
