摘要：	The purpose of this report is to summarize the data that have been collected, provide references to other researched material that supports the findings of this study, and provide a set of viable recommendations for moving forward with the preparation of a hazardous materials transportation plan (HMTP) for ADOT. Overviews of other states programs are documented and describe which plans or portions of the plans may be adapted for use by ADOT. This report includes an overview of the computer modeling software available, and discusses the evaluations of the models. State and federal regulations and guidance with regard to transportation of hazardous materials and incidents involving hazardous materials are discussed. Strengths and weaknesses of some of the available data are identified. It is concluded that ADOT should consider the Texas approach for preparing an HMTP. The following are actionable recommendations to begin the process for the HMTP preparation: (1) Use the Texas Administrative Codes as a basis for Arizona to develop and pass similar statutes. (2) Support a statute to require all trucks transporting hazardous materials to stop at ports of entry. (3) Develop a Web site with GIS-based maps for designated routes and other suitable information. (4) Create an alliance with AZSERC for using the commodity flow studies and prioritize corridors for completion of coverage of the state. (5) Form an interagency task force consisting of representatives from ADOT, AZSERC, ADPS, EMD, FHWA, FMCSA, metro Phoenix and Tucson municipalities, and others. (6) Fill in data gaps with air, rail, borders, and intrastate transport of hazardous materials. (7) Participate in a peer-to-peer program with Texas DOT for experience and technical transfer related to the HMTP preparation and utilization.
