The D&A Consortium helps members comply with federally-mandated drug and alcohol testing requirements for CDL employees, transit drivers, and gas utility workers.

Federally-required testing

The D&A Consortium provides random testing for Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), and US Coast Guard (USCG). Your membership includes random testing services. Non-random federally-required testing services – such as pre-employment, reasonable suspicion, post-accident and return to duty – are available at an additional cost.

Testing percentages and requirements
