Who Requires Federal DOT Testing?

Federal DOT drug and alcohol testing mandates apply to employees working in any of the six safety-sensitive agencies regulated by the DOT. 

These agencies include:

  • Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)
  • Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
  • Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
  • Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
  • United States Coast Guard (USCG)
  • Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)

In addition, employees of private companies, government bodies, and other organizations holding a commercial driver's license (CDL) or involved in transportation activities must undergo federal DOT testing. This includes for-hire and private motor carriers, commercial vehicle owners or leaseholders, as well as churches, civic organizations, and anyone operating commercial vehicles.

When Is Federal DOT Testing Necessary?

Federal DOT testing is required under various circumstances, such as after an accident involving an employee (post-accident testing), when there is reasonable suspicion of substance misuse, or when an employee returns to work following a failed DOT drug or alcohol test (return-to-duty/follow-up testing). Employers are also obligated to perform random drug and alcohol testing to maintain compliance.
