US DOT secretary Ray LaHood has been repeatedly attacking the "epidemic" of distracted driving with zeal over the course of this year. Just two week ago, he launched a “Faces of Distracted Driving” awareness campaign -- an unusually benign turn for the man who wants "more enforcement" and (surprise) a federal law on an issue belonging to the states.
With all this attention from the bully (in multiple senses of the word) pulpit of the Obama administration's transit promoter-in-chief, fancy the recalcitrance shown by this transit union over an almost zero-tolerance policy over bus drivers' and LRT operators' cell phone use.
