Book Description
This document provides a summary of the 1995 Status of the Nation's Surface Transportation System: Condition and Performance Report to Congress. It finds that personal and freight transport demands on our systems are at an all time high and are expected to increase with population and economic growth, but at a slower rate than experienced in past decades. While the U.S. population has increased 1.16 percent annually since 1980, the number of trips per person and miles per trip have increased about three times as fast. The physical condition of the surface transportation system has generally been stable, with States and local governments investing at rates approximately equal to the cost of maintaining the physical plant. Improved highway conditions have, to some extent, resulted in a significant decline in highway fatality rates over the past decade. In contrast, highway system performance has been declining; this is reflected in various measures of congestion. The quality of transit performance has improved with increases in average speed, reductions in wait times and number of transfers as well as reductions in trip times.

Book Description
Without a first class system of interstate highways, life in America would be far different -- it would be more risky, less prosperous, & lacking in the efficiency & comfort that Americans now enjoy & take for granted. The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate & Defense Highways, in place & celebrating its 40th anniversary, must surely be the best investment a nation ever made. Consider this: it has saved the lives of at least 187,000 people; it has prevented injuries to nearly 12 million people; it has returned more that $6 in economic productivity for each $1 it cost, & much more. Photos. Charts & tables.
