摘要：	The 1994 Northridge earthquake disrupted goods movement on four major highway routes in Southern California. This paper examines the impacts of the earthquake on Los Angeles County trucking firms, and finds that impact was initially widespred but relatively short-lived. Congestion delay and circuitous routing were the most common impacts. Rerouting and rescheduling strategies were ad hoc, rather than part of prearranged earthquake responses. The financial impacts of the earthquake were modest: mean first quarter revenues declined 0.2% while mean first quarter costs increased 3.5%. These impacts were smaller than expected because of quick restoration of highway access, made possible by redundancy in the road network and quick action by public agencies.
