Abstract:This Study represents a cooperative effort among the Office of the Secretary of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as staff, and other Department modal administrations with freight responsibilities. A companion document, the 1997 Federal Highway Cost Allocation (HCA) Study, was transmitted to Congress in August 1997. Taken together, this material will provide the policy and factual framework for congressional deliberations regarding Federal TS&W limits and associated Federal user fees. This report presents results of a comprehensive examination of issues surrounding current Federal truck size and weight (TS&W) limits and potential impacts of changes to those limits. Volume II, Background and Issues, summarizes the information developed during the course of the study in the following areas: (1) TS&W regulations; (2) motor carrier operations and industry structure; (3) truck-rail competition; (4) shipper concerns; (5) highway safety and traffic operations; (6) highway infrastructure; and (7) enforcement.
