Abstract:

The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 will result in significant reform of economic regulation of the respective industries. Further legislation changes will be necessary, however, to achieve the most efficient regulatory framework. Provisions that create intermodal inequities, increase risk, limit managerial flexibility, stifle innovation, and cause distortions in economic decisions should be revised or eliminated. This paper highlights those aspects of rail and motor carrier regulation that require future legislative and administrative attention and action. (Author)
