Book excerpt: Canada and the United States exchange the world's highest level of bilateral trade, valued at $1.4 billion a day. Two-thirds of this trade travels on trucks. Heavy Traffic examines the way in which the regulatory reform of American and Canadian trucking, coupled with free trade, has internationalized this vital industry. Before deregulation, restrictive entry rules had fostered two separate national highway transportation markets, and most international traffic had to be exchanged at the border. When the United States deregulated first, the imbalance between its opened market and Canada's still-restricted one produced a surprisingly difficult bilateral dispute. American deregulation was motivated by domestic incentives, but the subsequent Canadian deregulation blended domestic incentives with transborder rate comparisons and concerns about trade competitiveness. Daniel Madar shows that deregulation created a de facto regime of free trade in trucking services. Removing regulatory barriers has enabled Canadian and American carriers to follow the expansion of transborder traffic that began with the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and continues with NAFTA. The services available with deregulated trucking have also supported sweeping changes in industrial logistics. As transborder traffic has surged, the two countries' carriers -- from billion-dollar corporations to family firms -- have exploited the latitude provided by deregulation. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of the policy processes and economic conditions that led to trucking deregulation. As a study in public policy formation and the international effects of reform, it will be of interest to students and scholars of political economy, international relations, and transportation.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Urban transportation in many towns and cities around the world is becoming a major concern, not only because of rising car ownership and the resulting congestion, but also because of increasing pollution and the consequences for community health. Although there have been considerable technical advances in recent years in vehicle design, transportation systems and in the analysis of the environment, the efficient integration of transport systems within the fabric of towns and cities is complex with attendant social and environmental issues." "This book contains the proceedings of the First International Conference on Urban Transport and the Environment held in Southampton in June 1995. Over fifty papers were presented from authors around the world covering transport systems such as railways in cities and electric vehicles; planning aspects covering traffic restraint and 'infrastructure'; environmental aspects including vehicle emissions and urban noise; and future vision issues such as future urban travel demand, and new approaches to mobility."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
