Contributions and Crossroads: Our National Road System’s Impact on the U.S. Economy and Way of Life (1916-2016)

Excerpt:  “America is a nation on the go, and our highway system is our lifeblood. Through a century of public investment, we have built a national network of highways and bridges that connect us to each other and our vast Nation. It moves food from the farm to our table and brings the products we enjoy to our doorstep. It provides access to jobs, schools, and medical care. It is an engine for economic growth and opportunity. A century of sustained investments has fundamentally transformed our economy and society. This report presents a thoughtful reflection of past accomplishments and contributions of the transportation system to national connectivity and way of life for all.”
