In an effort to increase awareness of this risk, the U.S. Department of Transportation and CUSEC prepared this document which discusses transportation system vulnerability; aspects of earthquake risk, including multistate impacts; probability; faulting; earthquake-related hazards; liquefaction; slope stability; dam or levee failure; and hazardous materials spills. It also includes discussions of earthquake effects on specific transportation systems and offers guidance for reducing their vulnerability
