Abstract:Report is the first of two Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) reports
examining the transportation of hazardous materials in the U. S. in order to
assist the Congress in its deliberations on reauthorization of the Hazardous
Materials Transportation Act. This volume summarizes federal programs and
identifies three major areas of State and local government concern: prevention
and enforcement activities; emergency response and training, and planning and
data gathering. The report outlines related issues, describes methods by which
jurisdictions are responding to them and documents the concerns that the Federal
government could address. This report is based on the results of a workshop
which examined OTA's research and literature review of state and local
capabilities and activities in the area of accident prevention and emergency
response. OTA found that, among public officials, highway and rail hazardous
materials accidents were of the most concern. Thus this report emphasizes truck
transportation. The second report: TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, was
published in July 1986 The link in this record leads to a Table of Contents
