Are the FMCSRs applicable to drivers employed by and vehicles operated by municipalities?
49 CFR Part 390.3(f)(2) exempts transportation performed by a state or a political subdivision including any agency of state or locality from the FMCSRs. However, this exemption does not apply to the CDL requirements in Part 383 nor the drug and alcohol testing requirements in Part 382. Government employers and drivers are exempt from compliance with Parts 325, 385, 387, and 390 through 399.
