TRANSPORT Jobs Act
HR 3055, the TRANSPORT Jobs Act, requires the Secretary of Transportation to create an action plan within 30 days of enactment to help transitioning military service members and veterans enter supply chain careers (like trucking, rail, and logistics). The plan must identify barriers veterans face in hiring, challenges employers encounter, and high-demand regions, while highlighting transferable skills and existing program gaps. It will recommend specific steps for the Transportation, Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Labor departments to improve recruitment, training, and retention of veterans in supply chain jobs. The bill directly affects veterans seeking these careers and supply chain employers needing qualified workers.
