摘要：	The Senate Report on the Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) appropriations bill requested that the Department conduct a study and submit to Congress a report on applicability of Federal maximum weight limitations to over-the-road (OTR) buses (also called motorcoaches) and public transit vehicles. This study is intended to: assess current status and trends in bus axle weight; estimate the cost of pavement damage caused by buses; assess both the technical and economic feasibility of lighter-weight buses; evaluate within a benefit-cost framework selected policies that could address over-limit bus axle weights; and given the above assessments, make recommendations to Congress about the applicability of axle weight limits to transit and over-the-road buses.
