DOT penalties: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/107.329 

(a) A  person who knowingly violates a requirement of the  Federal hazardous material transportation law, an order issued thereunder, this subchapter, subchapter C of the chapter, or a  special permit or  approval issued under this subchapter applicable to the transportation of hazardous materials or the causing of them to be transported or shipped is liable for a civil penalty of not more than $78,376 for each violation, except the maximum civil penalty is $182,877 if the violation results in death, serious illness, or severe injury to any  person or substantial destruction of property. There is no minimum civil penalty, except for a minimum civil penalty of $471 for violations relating to training. When the violation is a continuing one, each day of the violation constitutes a separate offense.

The FAA has its own penalties. Some fairly recent ones:
