What are the DOT drug testing requirements?
In 1991, the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act created the following DOT Agencies which established drug and alcohol testing regulations to ensure that aircraft, trains, trucks, and buses were operated in a safe and responsible manner. As an employer or individual operating in a "Safety Sensitive" position, it is important to understand how these regulations impact you.
49 CFR Part 40 (commonly known as part 40) explains:
- How drug and alcohol testing is conducted
- Who is authorized to participate in the drug and alcohol testing program
- What employees must do before they may return to duty after a drug and/or alcohol violation
Each DOT Agency and the USCG have specific regulations that cover:
- The agency's prohibitions on drug and alcohol use
- Who is subject to comply with these regulations
- What type of testing is required
- When testing is required
- Consequences of non-compliance
FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) amended its rule that would establish requirements for commercial driver's license employers and individuals with regards to the drug and alcohol clearing house which will take affect on January 6, 2020.
The FMCSA Clearinghouse is a secure online database that will allow employers, the FMCSA, State Driver Licensing Agencies, State Law Enforcement and individual CDL operators to access real time important information about a CDL Driver's drug and alcohol program violations and the ultimate goal of this database is to enhance safety on our Nation's public roadways.

- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (14 CFR Part 120)
- United States Coast Guard (USCG) (46 CFR Parts 4,5 and 16)
- Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) (49 CFR Part 382)

The Opioid Overdose Crisis
Every day, more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. The misuse of and addiction to opioids,including prescription pain relievers, heroin, and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, is a serious national crisis that affects public health as well as social and economic welfare. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total "economic burden" of prescription opioid misuse alone in the United States is $78.5 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.
- Roughly 21 to 29 percent of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them.
- Between 8 and 12 percent develop an opioid use disorder.
- An estimated 4 to 6 percent who misuse prescription opioids transition to heroin.
- About 80 percent of people who use heroin first misused prescription opioids.
- Opioid overdoses increased 30 percent from July 2016 through September 2017 in 52 areas in 45 states.
- The Midwestern region saw opioid overdoses increase 70 percent from July 2016 through September 2017.
- Opioid overdoses in large cities increase by 54 percent in 16 states.
In the late 1990s, pharmaceutical companies reassured the medical community that patients would not become addicted to prescription opioid pain relievers, and healthcare providers began to prescribe them at greater rates. This subsequently led to widespread diversion and misuse of these medications before it became clear that these medications could indeed be highly addictive.3,4 Opioid overdose rates began to increase. In 2017, more than 47,000 Americans died as a result of an opioid overdose, including prescription opioids, heroin, and illicitly manufactured fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid.1That same year, an estimated 1.7 million people in the United States suffered from substance use disorders related to prescription opioid pain relievers, and 652,000 suffered from a heroin use disorder (not mutually exclusive)

AI Overview
Understanding DOT Drug Testing
DOT drug testing is a regulatory requirement enforced by the United States Department of Transportation to ensure that operators and safety-sensitive personnel in the transportation industry are compliant with federal drug-free workplace laws. This testing applies to millions of transportation professionals across various sectors, including aviation, trucking, railways, public transit, and pipelines.
Regulated Entities and Individuals
- Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers: Includes anyone operating commercial vehicles that require a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL).
- Aviation Professionals: Applies to pilots, air traffic controllers, flight attendants, and aircraft maintenance personnel.
- Railroad Operators: Covers those who operate trains, prepare vehicles for service, and dispatch operations on the railway.
- Public Transit Workers: Encompasses bus drivers, mechanics, and any staff responsible for the safety of public transport operations.
- Pipeline Operators: Includes individuals involved in the operation and maintenance of pipeline facilities.
What Substances Are Tested?
The DOT drug testing program focuses on several major classes of drugs:
- Amphetamines and Methamphetamines
- Opiates, including heroin, codeine, and morphine
- Cocaine
- THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), found in marijuana
- Phencyclidine (PCP)
Procedure of DOT Drug Testing
The testing process is standardized to prevent tampering and ensure consistent results:
- Sample Collection: Urine samples are collected under strict conditions to ensure that they are not tampered with or substituted.
- Screening Tests: Initial screenings are conducted using immunoassay techniques. If a test is positive, further confirmation is required.
- Confirmation Tests: Confirmatory testing using more precise methods like Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) confirms the presence of specific drugs.
- Review Process: An MRO reviews confirmed positive results to determine if there is a legitimate medical explanation before reporting the result to the employer.
Implications of Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with DOT drug testing regulations can lead to significant consequences:
- Removal from Safety-Sensitive Duties: Employees testing positive are immediately removed from their safety-sensitive duties.
- Rehabilitation and Return-to-Duty Testing: Before returning to duty, employees must undergo an evaluation by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), complete any prescribed treatment, and have negative results on follow-up tests.
- Employment Consequences: Additional consequences may include job suspension, termination, or other disciplinary actions based on the employer’s policies.
DOT drug testing serves as a critical safeguard in the transportation industry, promoting a safe and responsible work environment while ensuring public safety and compliance with federal regulations.

Local Area Info: Pennsylvania Route 234
Pennsylvania Route 234 (PA 234) is a 38-mile-long (61 km) state highway located in Adams and York Counties in Pennsylvania. The western terminus is at U.S. Route 30 (US 30) in Franklin Township. The eastern terminus is at PA 462 in West York. PA 234 heads east from US 30 as a two-lane undivided road through rural areas in northern Adams County, passing through Arendtsville before it reaches Biglerville, where it intersects PA 394 and PA 34. The route continues east and has an interchange with the US 15 freeway in Heidlersburg and crosses PA 94 prior to reaching East Berlin, where it intersects PA 194. PA 234 crosses into York County and heads through rural areas in the western part of the county. Right before its eastern terminus at PA 462, PA 234 crosses US 30 on an overpass; however, there is no direct access to the highway. PA 234 was designated in 1928 between US 30 in Franklin Township and PA 194 in East Berlin. The route was extended east from East Berlin to US 30 (now PA 462) west of West York in 1937. The entire route was paved in the 1930s.
PA 234 begins at an intersection with US 30 in Franklin Township, Adams County, heading north on two-lane undivided Buchanan Valley Road. The road runs through farms and forests with some homes, turning northeast and passing through Trust. The route continues through rural areas as it curves more to the east and winds through forests along the Conewago Creek, eventually crossing the creek into Menallen Township. PA 234 continues southeast a short distance to the northeast of the creek on Narrows Road. The road crosses the creek again and heads back into Franklin Township, passing through Bridgeport and heading east before turning south in agricultural areas with a few homes. The route enters the borough of Arendtsville and becomes North High Street, passing homes. PA 234 turns east onto Main Street and continues through more residential areas. The road crosses the Conewago Creek into Butler Township and becomes Arendtsville Road, running through open farmland with a few homes. The route heads into the borough of Biglerville and intersects the western terminus of PA 394, becoming West York Street and passing residences. The road becomes East York Street and crosses PA 34, continuing east and crossing the Gettysburg and Northern Railroad.
PA 234 turns northeast and heads back into Butler Township, becoming Heidlersburg Road and running through more open agricultural areas with occasional homes. The road curves more to the east and crosses into Tyrone Township, running through more rural areas. The route passes through Heidlersburg and continues to an interchange with the US 15 freeway. From here, PA 234 runs through a mix of farmland and woodland with some residences on East Berlin Road, becoming the border between Huntington Township to the north and Tyrone Township to the south as it heads through Five Points. From this point, the road becomes the border between Reading Township to the north and Tyrone Township to the south, briefly heading entirely into Tyrone Township prior to crossing the Plum Run into Reading Township. In this area, the route crosses PA 94 before continuing east through more agricultural areas. PA 234 crosses the Conewago Creek into the borough of East Berlin and becomes West King Street, passing homes along with a few businesses. In the center of town, the route intersects PA 194 and becomes East King Street.
