The Department of Transportation released its 2025 testing rates for safety-sensitive positions covered by mandatory drug and alcohol testing programs and has kept it at the same rate as the current year.
The levels will remain at 25% for random drug testing and 10% for random alcohol testing for safety sensitive positions, including pilots flying under Part 135, mechanics for Part 145 repair stations, air traffic controllers and others.
These rates are the minimum testing levels for the agency, noted NBAA Senior Vice President of Safety, Security, Sustainability and International Operations.
“DOT’s decision to retain current testing levels reflects a high level of adherence to drug and alcohol avoidance by covered employees,” said Carr.
