Welcome to Those Interested In
The Uniform Program for State Hazardous Materials Permitting and Registration for Motor Carriers and Shippers
The time for this concept is now!
The Alliance for Uniform HazMat Transportation Procedures is a group of seven states (Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma and West Virginia) that register and permit carriers and shippers of hazardous materials in a uniform manner, utilizing the same application forms and fee assessment calculations.
The key policy objective of the Uniform Program for regulating hazardous materials transportation is the protection of public health and safety. The Uniform Program is designed to promote safety through increased compliance with a single set of registration and permitting requirements versus the existing myriad of state programs.
Benefits of the program include:
- Safety Fitness - States perform a background safety review of motor carrier safety records and compliance history
- Uniformity -- Fee calculations and application forms are uniform
- Convenience - Carriers may receive credentials in one state and be permitted for commerce in all participating states
Please feel free to contact any member jurisdiction listed in the brochure if you have questions regarding the requirements for applicants or program guidelines for new states to join the Alliance, or you may contact me directly at 775-684-4653.
Sincerely,
James Rhode
Chair, Alliance Governing Board |
