The purpose of this pamphlet is to provide the transportation planner with a single reference source for commonly used abbreviations and definitions of technical terminology used in civil transportation emergency planning. Through the use of this pamphlet, it is hoped that a higher degree of communication and mutual understanding can be achieved throughout the transportation community. Since its initial publication in November 1968, and its first revision in 1971, numerous changes in organizations, terms, and abbreviations have occurred. Therefore, in the interest of providing the transportation community with a document that is current and reflects present day terminology as well as anticipates future usage, a second revision has been necessary. To accomplish this, the assistance of the entire transportation community was solicited. Their excellent response is hereby acknowledged. Suggestions for additions or changes along with appropriate reference to source material for inclusion in future revisions should be addressed to: Director of Emergency Transportation (TAD-80), Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation, Washington, D.
