The multimodal national transportation planning effort developed by the Department of Transportation provides a view of the future evolution of transportation. It raises questions of what choices and changes should be made so that the actual evolution would best serve the Nation. It is both a physical and economic overview of opportunities for improvement and pitfalls to be avoided. All modes are considered comprehensively for passenger and freight in urban, interstate and international transportation. The analyses include recent history and trends through the end of the century. The ten-color 19 in. x 28 in. map Appendix shows the Nation's transportation system by mode on individual 1:7,500,000 scale maps and the combined highway, rail, waterway, airport and pipeline systems overlaid on National Atlas sectional maps. This set of 1:2,000,000 sectional maps fits together to form a wall size national map including all 50 states plus Pacific and Carribbean outlying areas.
