TRENDS IN TRANSPORTATION REGULATIONS: RAILS, BUSES, TRUCKS

State transportation officials had an opportunity to meet and discuss contemporary problems at the Second Transportation Regulation Conference, co-sponsored by the Iowa and Minnesota Departments of Transportation, September 19-20, 1977. Too frequently the day-to-day work of state regulators prevent an analysis of issues affecting a state's transportation network. This conference was an attempt to bridge this gap through a series of presentations on railroads, the intercity bus industry and motor carriers. Informal discussions among the participants presented an opportunity to see how others are coping with the constantly changing and complex structure of the common carriers and their relationship to regulatory agencies.
