Please note: This site was developed to help you understand the regulations. Consult the references provided for links to the full text of the regulations.
 TERC is intended to help you find information on the environmental regulations that affect the transportation sector. The site includes overviews of the regulations, tips on how to comply, best practice solutions that can help the environment while saving you money, and links to other resources.
You can search for topics relating to specific transportation modes (road, rail, air, and water), or by other categories. Select the categories of interest to you from the menu bar at the left, or select "All Topics" for a list of all of the topics (both current and future) covered on the site.
Currently the majority of topics impacting road transportation are complete. This portion was developed in cooperation with the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). While many common topics are covered for the other transportation modes (rail, air, and water), additional unique topics for these industries are still being developed (see Future Topics list). They are expected to be available in early 2012.
This website was developed and is maintained by the National Center for Manufacturing Sciences. Funding for this project has been provided by EPA under the National Compliance Assistance Centers program. For more information, or to pass along suggestions, please contact: Bill Chenevert, Administrative Director, wchenevert@ncms.org.
