ATRI’s new research will examine how trucking regulations affect different industry stakeholders and create a more consistent way to compare their costs with their intended benefits. The study is expected to look at factors such as increased operating expenses, reduced productivity, how clearly regulations are understood and implemented, and whether rules are actually enforced.
The goal is to create a practical regulatory cost-benefit analysis template that can help the trucking industry better evaluate existing and future rules. ATRI says some regulations may create high costs with unclear benefits, while others may provide measurable benefits but suffer from inconsistent enforcement, making a standardized evaluation model useful for carriers, policymakers, and other industry stakeholders.
