Us Celebrating Constitution Day: The Foundation of Transportation Law On September 17, we honor Constitution Day, commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. This pivotal document continues to shape many aspects of our legal system, including the framework for transportation law. At the Transportation Lawyers Association (TLA), we recognize the Constitution’s profound impact on transportation law and its role in ensuring the safe, efficient, and equitable movement of goods and people across the country. 📝 It grants Congress the authority to regulate interstate commerce, which includes the movement of goods and people across state lines. This authority forms the backbone of federal transportation regulations, ensuring consistent standards across all states. 📝The Constitution also establishes that federal laws take precedence over state laws, creating a uniform legal system that transportation companies can rely on as they operate nationwide. 📝Additionally, it safeguards the rights of businesses and individuals by ensuring that laws and regulations are applied fairly and consistently, protecting against unfair treatment in the transportation industry. #ConstitutionDay #TransportationLaw #TLA #InterstateCommerce #LegalFramework #UniformRegulations
