America´s Transportation System

Public transport is the best number in over 50 years. (APWA, 2013) Infrastructure investment not only is necessary for economic development but also directly affects income disparity. Because people have access to roads, electricity and telecommunications, they have more opportunities to earn more income, so low income people get more income than more income people. Infrastructure improves the quality of life and as policy makers continue to recognize their importance, new funding ideas are being implemented.

Introduction Traffic accounts for the majority of global economic activity. According to the annual transport statistics of the Enoch foundation in the United States, passenger transport accounts for 10% of the gross domestic product of the United States, freight shipping accounts for 6%. In some closely related industries, transportation can account for about one fifth of all economic activity. Naturally, this makes transportation a priority for government regulatory activities. In the United States, the railroad was one of the first industries regulated by the federal government in 1887. In most, if not all, countries, the government is not only a regulatory body but also an important producer of transportation services. The government provides at least most of the roads, buses, subways, trains, airlines, airports and harbors to be owned at public land.

Transport innovation The history of transport innovation is not revolutionary but mainly stepwise. Looking back on the history of transport it can be seen that today's roads, transportation and freight transportation systems are the result of decades of gradual improvement in areas such as vehicle propulsion, control systems, materials and telecommunications . Transport investment takes a long time and, in most cases, there is interaction between the public sector and the private sector. The success of the new concept is subject to at least the legal and institutional considerations without being affected by the technology.

The need for effective defense initially brought a huge highway system deeply forming the urban and rural areas of the United States, along with major transportation throughout the continent. The highway law, the so-called Cold War necessities, strengthens the dominance of private cars in the United States, and in many ways helps imposing them on most of the world. Since then, it's easy to convince you to own a car, road, gasoline, and following signaling is just a representation of our evolutionary technology - neutral and objective. What we consider natural is probably the inevitable result of linear and uninterrupted progress; the natural conclusion of continuous scientific research
