Clearing the track: the remaining transportation regulations

Article Abstract:

Congress has approved several legislative measures to curtail government regulation of the transportation industry. Congress followed up the Railroad Revitalization and Regulatory Reform Act of 1976 with laws deregulating air freight, scheduled airlines, trucking, bus services, freight services, motor carriers and shipping lines. However, much remains to be done before the transportation industry can operate as free as other businesses are from government regulation.

Article Abstract:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHSTA) is developing regulations for the newest form of senior-citizen transportation, the turbo-charged golf cars. The new golf cars, known as a low-speed vehicle or neighborhood electric vehicle, has been developed by Bombardier Inc. Since the regulations, which vary from one municipality to the other, may cause chaos, the NHSTA will probably adopt nationally the rules used by Palm Desert, CA.
