Leon N. Moses In June 1991, the Transportation Center at
Northwestern University sponsored Hazmat Transport '91: A National
Conference on the Transportation of Hazardous Materials and Wastes.
The faculty associated with the center were aware that there had
been many professional, industrial and government conferences and
meetings on the subject. However, they believed that the unique
capacity of the Transportation Center to bring together leaders
from industry and government, as well as leading scholars from
economics, law, engineering, psychology and sociology who have done
research on the problems associated with the transportation of
hazardous materials and wastes (hazmats), could produce a set of
integrated insights and understandings that would go well beyond
those of previous conferences. The papers that make up this volume
were all delivered at Hazmat Transport '91. From a legislative
point of view, they tend to deal with issues associated with the
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975 (HMTA), the original
act passed to regulate the transportation of hazardous materials,
and the Hazardous Materials Transportation Uniform Safety Act of
1990 (HMTVSA). There were talks and papers presented at the
conference that focused on other recent legislation and
transportation issues with which HMTUSA does not deal. The
conference proceedings volume also had discussions and papers on
significant managerial and regulatory issues that could not be
included in this volume because of constraints on its size.
Therefore, this essay is made up of three parts.
