| 摘要： | In February 2015, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) issued interim guidance for continuous working hours for UDOT’s snowplow operators. Letter of Instruction 15-1 specified the number of hours that could be worked by snowplow operators and the approval required for certain shift lengths. This research examines best practices for snowplow operator driving time to inform development of a formal policy that will replace the Letter of Instruction 15-1 interim guidance. The major tasks of this research include a literature search that gathered information about the implications of driving time, rest breaks and other driving time policies with a focus on commercial motor vehicle drivers and snowplow operators. Two surveys—one provided to 39 state departments of transportation and another distributed to 20 specially selected UDOT region staff—gathered information about current snowplow operator driving time practices across the country and within UDOT. Recommendations for UDOT’s consideration in preparing a formal policy for snowplow operator driving time include establishing 12-hour shifts given the successes reported by survey respondents; establishing different shift limits for emergency conditions; including breaks in the operator’s work schedule; specifying a minimum rest period between shifts that accommodates long commute times for drivers; identifying ways to remediate staffing challenges; considering reducing the level of service during extended storm events; managing public expectations; allowing for flexibility at the area, region or station level; and monitoring the impact of the new policy. |
