Abstract | Transportation is one of the biggest contributors to the destruction of the environment. Results from environmental research and pursuant governmental regulations are changing the way companies do business and how transportation systems address the future. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been at the forefront in leading environmental research and instituting policies and regulations to fight the issues impacting the environment. The transportation industry and consumers alike are concerned about the environment, energy resources, efficiencies, and economics. In this article, the authors suggest that it is vital that people promote the protection of the environment and strengthen the laws that prohibit waste dumping so the surroundings stay clean and healthy; otherwise, the direct output of this concept--the existence of humanity in the years to come--will be questionable. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.) (ERIC). |
