Abstract:

Now that the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 has been enacted, its effects on motor carriers and society must be monitored. Five major areas of the monitoring process are discussed. They include (a) the purpose for monitoring, (b) the clear definition of the act's provisions, (c) the act's possible unintended effects, (d) the points and standards of the provisions to be monitored, and (e) the societal benefits and disbenefits of the act. Monitoring is needed to ensure that congressional intent is carried out with integrity and accuracy by the monitoring agencies. (Author)
