Section 250-155-2 - SYNOPSIS1. Five New England states (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont) formed the New England Transportation Consortium (NETC) to pool regional resources in the development of substantially improved methods for dealing with common, high-priority transportation problems. The NETC developed a common set of safety standards and procedures to address the need for more uniform and equitable guidelines for issuing permits for the interstate movement of non-divisible overweight/oversize loads in the five consortium states. The purpose of this rule is to implement the common procedures set out in the Interstate Compact of the New England Transportation Consortium that will be used to issue permits for certain non-divisible overweight/oversize vehicles and loads.2. This initial agreement has been developed by five New England States, as noted above. However, its provisions have been established in a way that allows for other states, both inside and outside New England, and Canadian Provinces to become signatories to the agreement as well.29- 250 C.M.R. ch. 155, § 2
