DOT Announced Extension of the Quiet Car Rule:

The US Department of Transportation announced a six-month extension for the
quiet car rule, part of the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act that requires
audible sounds be equipped on electric and hybrid electric vehicles to help
all pedestrians, especially blind pedestrians, be aware when a vehicle is
nearby. This extension is needed in response to COVID-19-related
manufacturing delays. The National Federation of the Blind recognizes the
impact of COVID-19 on the automobile industry and believes that the DOT’s
action strikes an appropriate balance while continuing to ensure
implementation of the law. Learn more about our advocacy for the Pedestrian
Safety Enhancement Act
