DOT Clearinghouse: Coming Soon!- 07 May
Registration for the DOT Clearinghouse will begin soon!
For those DOT members who will be a part of the Clearinghouse, below is a timeline of upcoming events happening for the Clearinghouse that you should be aware of.
The Clearinghouse final rule was made back in December of 2016. This rule created a drug and alcohol clearinghouse for the DOT. It also identified the roles and responsibilities of those who will be required to use the Clearinghouse. You can see that final rule here.
FALL 2019: REGISTRATION BEGINS
This upcoming fall users will be able to create an account for the Clearinghouse that will give you access once the Clearinghouse becomes operational on January 6, 2020.
JANUARY 6, 2020: CLEARINGHOUSE IMPLEMENTATION DATE
