The US Department of Transportation has closed over 100 commercial driving schools. These schools allegedly certified thousands of drivers who did not pass required English proficiency tests. The department also found issues with organizations that provide training for new drivers, including unlicensed instructors and inadequate facilities.
More than 160 organizations were found to have problems, such as lacking proper documentation for license evaluations. The announcement is part of a government-wide initiative to combat fraud, specifically in the trucking industry. Further details on the closures and the initiative are available from the US Department of Transportation.
The move is part of a broader effort by the administration to address issues in the transportation sector. For more information, readers can refer to the original announcement from the US Department of Transportation.
