Description of every regulation or policy


Air carrier industry has a law that allows the domestic air carriers to provide its
services to any locale so much time as they meet the safety regulations together
with the availability of landing slots



On the other hand, the majority of the water carrier operations are exempted
from the economic rules



The railroads are subjected to common carrier obligations including to serve
and not to discriminate, charge reasonable rates and also to deliver quality
services



All motors should meet the safety features and safety-related performance
standards

Explanation as to what led to the formulation of the
regulation or policy









Air carrier regulation was developed to improve the America’s local and
international businesses and trade
The exemptions of the water carriers from the economic laws acted as a form
of government support to promote the maritime transport
Besides, the water transport in the country was declining, and the federal
government had to act strategically by exempting the industry from economic
regulations
The rising discrimination among other forms of unethical business behaviours
promoted the development of the railroad's policy
The rising cases of deaths, injuries, and loss of properties related to the motor
vehicles accidents resulted in the establishment of the policy

Explanation of the regulation or policy's influence on the mode of
transportation


The air carriers’ regulations have led to the increased landing slots in many
countries in different parts of the world which have also resulted in increased
revenue



Water transport exempt from economic regulation have led to growing use of
the mode of transportation as it has resulted in the ease of transporting bulk
commodities



On the other hand, the rail transport has now adopted charging reasonable rates
to its customers



The rate of deaths and injuries have significantly reduced since motor users
have maintained the safety standards and procedures required by law

Explanation of critical elements of the regulation or
policy


Some of the essential elements in the air mode of transport include ensuring
that there are available slots for landing and these landing slots meet the safety
regulations of the country



On the other hand, critical aspects of the water transport regulation include the
majority of the transported products are bulky and are also on a for-hire basis
for them to be exempted from the economic regulation



The vital factors in the railroad's transport include discrimination, service
delivery, and reasonable rates. Safety of the road users is the most essential
element in the road modes of transport
