protect the People of the State of Illinois against the risk to
life and property inherent in the transportation of hazardous
materials over highways by keeping such risk to a minimum
consistent with technical feasibility and economic
reasonableness.

the movement of hazardous materials in such quantities that
would not pose a substantial danger to the public health and
