About TERC
Seven trade associations and professional associations have formed a partnership to launch the multimedia environmental resource center to serve all modes of transportation. The documents are especially useful for airports and airlines, railroads, barging, ports and motor carrier industries. The Transportation Environmental Resource Center (TERC) provides environmental compliance information through the web-site and a toll free fax-back. The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) manages the TERC, with the trucking page managed by the American Trucking Associations. The goal of the TERC center is to identify up-to-date information on environmental compliance requirements and to make that information available to transportation professionals and the public. The information must be in clear, easy to read language. The TERC also seeks comments and feedback of users to continually improve the content and usability of the web-site. The web-site offers a Forum where industry can post questions and receive answers to questions from other environmental overseers, as well as obtain up-to-date news and calendar of events.
A special thanks goes to the many associations that have contributed to ideas for the design and content of this transportation center: American Waterways Operators, Association of American Railroads, American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association, Air Transport Association of America, and the Regional Airline Association.
The TERC development was possible in part through the financial resources of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. These resources allowed AAAE to bring environmental compliance information to the transportation industry and the public through the web-site, fact sheets, news, calendar, and other documents on the web-site.
