WASTE MANAGEMENT IN TRANSPORTATION: THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE

This paper presents both current and forward-looking views of waste and waste-related problems confronted by the transportation industry. In the first of two primary sections, both commonly used and advanced ways in which governments, transportation agencies, and private industry address waste management issues today are described. In the second, the focus is on the future, and the following topics are addressed: the utilization and management of waste in the future, integrating the efficient management and minimization of waste into transportation operations and maintenance, and the statutory and regulatory changes needed to protect the public while allowing for flexible and commonsense solutions to waste management problems.
