The Exceptional Interstate Highway System: Will a Compelling New Vision Emerge?

Jonathan L. Gifford

Abstract

The Interstate Highway System is exceptional in American history because of the federal government's extensive role in the system's planning, financing, organizational structure, and research and development. In this article, the author notes, however, that the consensus vision of the Interstate Highway System is eroding and the nation's transportation future will be an ongoing contest among strongly held views and values.
