Compliance with the Road Transport Law

Office of Regulation Review Submission

The Office of Regulation Review submission, Compliance with the Road Transport Law, was released in December 1994. The submission comments on selected propositions from the National Road Transport Commission NRTC paper, Compliance with the Road Transport Law: Principles, Objectives and Strategies, released June 1994. In particular, the submission focuses on the first proposition, that the objective of compliance strategies should be to maximise compliance with standards as cost-effectively and fairly as possible. It also provides brief comments on some related issues.
