Domestic transportation law is a conglomeration of Federal statues, regulations, and codes; additionally, many states, counties, and local jurisdictions also have laws and regulations that are incorporated into domestic transportation law. In general most transportation law deals with safety and restricts the type and scope of conveyance in regard to the product being transported. The basis for all federal domestic transportation law is the United States Constitution which authorizes Congress regulate interstate commerce (Transportation Law1). Federal Transportation law is found in title 49 of the U. S. Code § 101 with the stated purpose of the section to provide fast, efficient, safe, secure, and convenient transportation at low cost. Department of Transportation resources are also to be conserved and used efficiently as proscribed under this section of the code (Transportation Law2 2).
Many laws create regulatory agencies that oversee areas of the transportation sector such as; the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Transportation Security Oversight Board (TSOB), as well as the Department of Transportation (DOT) itself and many others. Domestic laws not only govern the infrastructure that the conveyances travel upon and in but the conveyances themselves, for example FAA regulations cover the air terminal, airport grounds and surrounding areas including the airspace above the grounds, the passengers, cargo, crews and the actual aircraft as well as support vehicles. States also have similar agencies and departments as well as t...

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 directly relates to the National Incident Management System and the National Response Framework. In fact, it directly correlates with their missions. HSPD-5 was the directive that needed to start things in motion; NIMS and the NRF are the aftermath of the directive. With the formation of NIMS and soon after the NRF, America can operate successfully under one national manage...
The EPA operates from a number of laws and regulations designed to function as its foundation for protecting the environment and the health of the public. Congress allows the EPA to write regulations in order to support the ideas for implementing these regulations. For that reason they are known as a regulatory agency. These regulations fall under two categories: Laws and Executive Orders (EOs) that influence environmental protection and Laws and EOs that Influence the Regulatory Process.

A method used consistently has had some form of qualitative, empirical research and sometimes combined with quantitative data from surveys. I believe this was to help identify underlying complex factors. Yet, the articles don’t explore explicitly how these attitudes, preferences and choices are made. Consequently, referring to books written for transportation policies and problems surrounding this transport mode became necessary to understanding these

It is not a surprise that technology has come to be as advanced as it is now but along with it, transportation has also evolved and continues to do so in the biggest way possible. From cars to boats to rockets, transportation is important for human beings to get around and it has advanced greatly with the help of scientists and regular people who chose to think bigger. Scientists are just beginning with these new inventions, so who knows what new transportation will come next.

The transport sector underpins modern society through its movement of resources, goods, services and people, which directly sustains the global economy and peoples’ livelihoods (Robèrt et al., 2017). Although, the inability of the transport sector to develop sustainably has resulted in failings at environmental, economic and social levels that threaten its long-term viability (Schiller et al., 2010). To transition to a more sustainable transport system, there is a direct need for integrated global policy to address the three pillars of sustainability and facilitate transport development ‘…that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs…’ (WCED, 1987, p.54). In response to this

Transport is an issue, which in some form affects everyone. In the current environment, each one of us plays a role in the continuous maltreatment, which is occurring. The economy is at a low, rebounding from a unkind recession, the natural recurrence of fossil fuels which we, the general public rely on is at a deplete and yet there is an avoidance of acknowledgement of these situations by the nation.
