Abstract A student at Indiana University once summarized the contribution of transportation very neatly when he wrote: “Transportation of man and his trappings by rail, air, ski-lift, truck and car has advanced man to the point that boy scouts receive merit badges for being able to walk 14 miles. It has also permited a degree of specialization that enables sociologists and psychologists to receive large grants of money to investigate the humdrum in life.” Anyone reviewing the present state of transportation in the United States and especially the income statements of transport companies might well conclude that we have an overabundance of service and facilities. Convincing arguments can be advanced that credit the gains of the economy to the availability of advanced technology related to transportation. There is every reason to believe that the rate of innovation will continue, and that we shall be able to take advantage of territorial specialization to the utmost.
