Book Description
GAO evaluated the Department of Transportation's (DOT) efforts to promote the safe transportation of hazardous materials and the emergency response mechanisms available to react to hazardous material disaster situations. DOT is responsible for ensuring the safety of the public from the inherent risks associated with transporting hazardous materials. DOT has done much to upgrade the federal effort to better ensure public safety in transporting hazardous materials, but improvements are needed. More knowledge is needed of industry size and the risks associated in transporting hazardous materials. Without this information, DOT cannot effectively plan its inspection and emergency response activities. DOT has not developed an overall program to evaluate all risks associated with transporting hazardous materials. Federal and state inspection and enforcement efforts should be strengthened. The Department does not have a program to identify those companies which present the greatest risk to the public. Better coordination and training among federal, state, and local governments, as well as private industry, could enhance emergency response capabilities. DOT has not established an adequate program to inform or to educate personnel in emergency response organizations.
