Proudly Serving Our Members
50+ Years of Promoting Safety - and Still Growing
The Council on Safe Transportation of Hazardous Articles, Inc. (COSTHA) is a dynamic and responsive industry association committed to the safe and efficient transportation of dangerous goods.
COSTHA represents a diverse range of members, including shippers, carriers, manufacturers, trade associations, training companies, and other related businesses and organizations.
As our members face economic pressures, rising fuel costs, and increasing global competition, we continue to advocate for domestic and international regulatory harmonization, uniform enforcement, and the review and realignment of regulations based on transport risk.
Our primary goal is to protect and represent the interests of COSTHA members at international forums like the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (UNSCOE TDG), as well as domestic groups and agencies including the Interested Parties Group, PHMSA, DOT, USCG, FRA, FAA, FMCSA, and others.
COSTHA staff maintains an ongoing dialogue with government personnel based on mutual respect and shared objectives.
Our mission is clear: to assist our members in complying with regulations for the safe transportation of dangerous goods, stay ahead of upcoming legislation, and encourage professional development and high standards within the DG industry.
