• Abstract:
  The efficient movement of freight is a key to the economic success of any state, region or nation. Rising transport costs will tend to ; make products from the region more expensive and less competitive in the national and global markets. This trend can be ; addressed by adding capacity, a very expensive and long-term solution; improving the management of the highway and rail ; systems; and by easing the regulatory burden on carriers. Some states have organized themselves into compacts or coalitions to ; issue permits for these routine loads on a regional basis. While permitting is one of the issues often raised by truckers as a costly ; and frustrating process, a number of concerns over exactly how individual state rules can be harmonized to facilitate regional ; permitting must be resolved before multi-state agreements can be put into place. To better understand the nature of regional ; permitting processes, existing compact or agreements must be reviewed and their rules, processes and administrative procedures ; documented. In addition, members of those compacts must be interviewed to measure their perceptions of the costs and benefits ; entailed in regional agreements.
