Proposed Project
Reducing Fatigue Among Taxi/
Rideshare Drivers—New—National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Taxi drivers routinely work long
hours and late night or early morning
shifts. Shift work and long work hours
are linked to many health and safety
risks due to disturbances to sleep and
circadian rhythms. Fatigue is a
significant contributor to transportationrelated injuries, most notably among
shift workers. Such work schedules and
inadequate sleep likely contribute to
health issues and injuries among taxi
drivers who experience a roadway
fatality rate of 3.5 times higher than all
civilian workers and had the highest
rate of nonfatal work-related motor
vehicle injuries treated in emergency
departments. The urban and interurban
transportation industry ranks the third
highest in costs per employee for motor
vehicle crashes. Tired drivers endanger
others on the road (e.g., other drivers,
passengers, bicyclists, pedestrians) in
addition to themselves and their
passengers. An important approach to
reducing fatigue-related risks is to
inform employers and taxi drivers about
the risks and strategies to reduce their
risks.
The purpose of this project is to
evaluate a training program to inform
taxi drivers and other drivers for hire
who transport passengers (‘‘rideshare’’
services) of the risks linked to shift work
and long work hours and to evaluate
strategies for taxi drivers to reduce these
risks. The proposed study site will be
the Flywheel Taxi Company in San
Francisco, with approximately 500
drivers, who have agreed to share data
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

collected on the study participants. The
recruitment of 180 study participants
and data collection onsite will be
performed by a NIOSH contractor
trained by the NIOSH project personnel.
This research study involves two parts:
development of a fatigue management
eLearning training tool designed for
drivers-for-hire (e.g., taxi drivers; ride
sourcing drivers); and an evaluation of
the use of this tool as an intervention.
The training tool will educate drivers
about fatigue as a risk factor for motor
vehicle crashes, the negative health and
safety effects of fatigue, and how to
reduce fatigue by improving sleep,
health, nutrition, and work schedules.
There will be pre- and post-module
knowledge tests to evaluate the training.
The training will be offered online, free
of charge, and will be viewable on
multiple platforms (e.g., smartphone,
tablet, laptop). All participants will also
wear a wristband actigraph used to
measure sleep/wake cycles, which will
serve as a second intervention. The
actigraph data will provide a
personalized, objective daily measure of
fatigue for each participant. One group
of participants will receive feedback (an
external prompt) from the actigraph
which may be used to assess individual
fatigue level and trigger self-reflection
on fitness to drive and act accordingly.
A randomized pre-post with control
group longitudinal study design will
evaluate the training and the driver’s
response to feedback from the actigraph.
Specifically, there are two intervention
groups: (1) training plus actigraph
fatigue level feedback (N=60); and (2)
training only but no fatigue level
feedback from the actigraph (N=60). The
control group (N=60) will receive
neither training nor feedback on fatigue
level from their actigraph. Participants
will complete a baseline and follow-up
Work and Health survey, sleep and
activities diaries, and sleep health
knowledge questions during each of five
observation periods. The Work and
Health survey administered in the first
observation period will be more
comprehensive and the abbreviated
follow up Work and Health surveys
administered for the remaining
observation periods will serve to
capture only responses to questions that
can change from one observation period
to the next. Only participants randomly
selected to take the training will
complete a training evaluation survey
used to strengthen the training’s
effectiveness. As part of their daily sleep
and health diaries drivers will be asked
to complete three-minute psychomotor
vigilance tests (PVTs) five times
throughout the day to directly measure

21JYN1
47142
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 139 / Friday, July 21, 2023 / Notices
alertness using an app installed on an
electronic device. At the end of the data
collection period the training will be
offered to the remaining study
participants who will be provided an
opportunity to complete the training
and training evaluation survey.
Study staff will use the findings from
this evaluation to improve the training
program, including content and
delivery, as well as compare fatigue
between intervention groups. Potential
impacts of this project include
improvements in work behaviors for
coping with shift work and long work
hours and an objective reduction in
fatigue compared to the control groups.
This project is poised to have
considerable impact in the contribution
of an evidence base for effective
interventions that could be used by
other taxi companies and drivers for
ride sourcing companies to promote
strategies in road safety.
All study participants (N=180) will be
fitted with a wrist actigraph. All study
participants will complete the Work and
Health survey, and the knowledge
survey during each study observation
period (five times each per participant).
All participants will complete the sleep
and activity diary five times a day, each
day for 35 days (175 times total) which
will require approximately five minutes
for each response which includes both
survey questions and the Psychomotor
Vigilance Test. Participants in the
intervention groups (N=120) will
complete the online training and
evaluation. For purposes of burden
estimation, the total number of
annualized participants is 90, the
annualized number of participants in
the control group is 30, and the total
annualized number of participants in
the intervention groups is 60.
Information collection is the same for all
participants, except for the Fatigue
Training Evaluation Survey which will
only be completed by participants in the
intervention groups.
CDC requests OMB approval for two
years. Participation is voluntary and
there are no costs to participants other
than their time. The total estimated
annualized burden is 1,794 hours.
