The DOT is looking to adopt AI and advanced data analytics to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of enforcement measures.
On January 14, the 105th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) was held in Washington, D.C. During the event, one of the federal government’s new plans for its national campaign against non-commercial Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) was presented: the use of artificial intelligence (AI). Through the implementation of AI tools, the government plans to identify trucking companies that hire undocumented foreign drivers.
The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Transportation, Steven Bradbury, stated that his department and its modal agencies are seeking to adopt AI and advanced data analytics to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of enforcement measures related to the issuance of non-domiciled CDLs and the hiring of drivers with unresolved immigration status.
During the TRB meeting, Bradbury explained how these tools have already proven useful in identifying fraud, and therefore could be equally effective in detecting companies that hire such drivers. “Unfortunately, this is happening on a widespread basis across the country and is harming American truck drivers,” Bradbury said.
Deregulatory policies: could AI be the turning point?
In recent months, the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) have increased pressure on states that have not acted swiftly in response to the Trump administration’s initiative to revoke commercial driver’s licenses that were improperly issued to foreign truck drivers. According to both agencies, failure to act could result in the loss of state authority to issue licenses, as well as the suspension of billions of dollars in federal transportation funding.
During his public remarks, Bradbury also presented a report on the administration’s “10-for-1” deregulatory policy, which requires that for every new significant regulation, defined as one imposing costs of $100 million or more on the U.S. economy, ten existing regulations must be eliminated.
In that context, Bradbury noted that within the Department of Transportation, “the current balance stands at 78 deregulatory actions and zero new significant regulations.”
Finally, Bradbury reaffirmed the Department of Transportation’s commitment to establishing a regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. He recalled that this effort made progress during the first Trump administration but later stalled, resulting in “a kind of paralysis” in the sector for four years. According to Bradbury, the current administration is reviving the issue by accelerating the exemption process for autonomous vehicles and providing clearer regulatory guidance.
Overall, the federal government’s growing reliance on artificial intelligence marks a significant shift in how CDL enforcement and transportation oversight may be conducted going forward. By combining AI-driven data analysis with an aggressive deregulatory agenda, the Department of Transportation is signaling a dual strategy: tightening enforcement against perceived abuses while simultaneously reducing regulatory burdens elsewhere. As pressure mounts on states and trucking companies alike, the success of this approach will depend not only on the effectiveness of these technologies, but also on how clearly and consistently new enforcement standards are implemented across the industry.
