In October, 1995, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) contracted with San Jose State University to develop biometric identification standards for possible use with the Commercial Driver's Licensing Information System (CDLIS). This project was in response to the 1988 Congressional mandate of the Truck and Bus Safety and Regulatory Reform Act (TBSRRA) (Public Law 100-690, Section 9105) for the development of 'minimum uniform standards for a biometric identification system to ensure identification of operators of commercial motor vehicles.' It follows significant earlier FHWA studies of biometrics, including a 1990 project by the California Department of Motor Vehicles and the Orkand Corporation which investigated the use of fingerprinting and retinal scanning for identifying commercial drivers. the intent of the 1988 legislation was to promote enforcement of the 'one-driver, one-license, one-record' provision of the 1986 Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act (CMVSA). It is our intent that the acceptance of this report will place the Secretary of Transportation in immediate compliance with the 1988 TBSRRA legislation mandating biometric standards development for the identification of commercial drivers.
