"COSTHA provides a cost-effective mechanism for companies to
monitor regulatory change in the Dangerous Goods transportation
industries, network with other member companies on common transport
challenges, and interact with domestic and international regulatory
authorities on current and future regulations that may impact
emerging technologies," said Tom
Ferguson, COSTHA Administrator. "Our organization is
dedicated to providing our members access to the resources they
need to conduct their businesses safely and compliantly and to the
DG transportation authorities that revise and update the
transportation regulations."
