Prompt: In what ways did developments in transportation bring about economic and social change in the United States in the period 1820-1860?

Transportation in the United States has changed dramatically in the past few hundred years, from dirt roads, to canals, to railroads, and back to roads to again. Improvements in transportation between the years 1820 and 1860 allowed for almost all of America to be accessible which caused the US economy to explode. Transportation turned the U.S. into a flourishing economy and caused a large increase in sectionalism, industrialization, and expansion.

The New Denver Airport represents a model airport of the future. It was also planned to be the second largest hub, having huge local commitment and it was financed by a lot of different sources.

For Assignment 3, you will discuss transportation in the BIA selected in assignment 1. The first step is to visit the area (indicate in the report the day and time of your visit. Depending on the BIA,

The National Interstate and Defense Highway Act was passed in 1956 by the federal government and it authorized $25 billon dollars to build 41,000 miles of interstate highways over the next ten years. With Henry Ford inventing the assembly line in his automobile factory, they were able to make automobiles cheaper for the public. For the first time Americans were able to own a car and not have to be extremely wealthy. With all these new people driving more they needed to expand and make new roads. Americans weren’t relying on trains for their transportation anymore.

This was a radical change because before only with a person who knew how to drive, had money to rent a bus, and the owners of the buses did not ask for more requirements to rent a bus. They were put at risk the lives of many people. For instance, speeding, failure to use turn signals, driving drunk, wrong lane change, distracted driving, running stop red lights, accidents, and failure to yield right of way. As they were many buses in the road this harmed to the passengers because there was a lot of traffic, and they were late for work, schools or appointments. For the same reason, a lot of traffic was also polluted plus the air from the smoke of each bus. Now with TransMilenio the passengers are safer because each bus driver has to take the

• With increase in trucking companies, problem of heavy carbon dioxide emission in environment will arrive sooner than expected Conclusion: Deregulation of the trucking industry has resulted in more competition and efficiency without of service cutbacks to smaller shippers, freeing up the trucking market to permit much more flexible pricing and service arrangements, allowed manufacturers to reduce inventories, move their products more quickly, and be more responsive to customers. Thus, Consumers indirectly benefited from the more efficient, lower-cost transport of goods In my opinion following major changes USA will experience in near future due to deregulation: • Total cost is going to be rise high for shippers as well as for carriers, since they will compete for drivers with best safety score. • A problem of Driver shortages will hit truck industry sooner than expected • Safety is going to be the top most priority of carriers • Quality of service is not going to suffered due to deregulation My recommendation on this scenario would be greater economic efficiencies can be achieved by increasing truck size and weight carrying capacity of truck which would boost the economy in general and would also help to reduce carbon foot

The Department of Transportations had plans to terminate its regulations governing the market of electronic distribution of tickets and flight information to travel agents. There were economic

Public transportation is serious need of a massive overhaul in this nation. We are in desperate need to catch up to the European standard of public transportation in this country. In Europe, citizens can travel across cities, bodies of water, and even counties with their state of the art public transportation system. Europeans are not nearly as reliant on cars and oil as the United States is because they have the much more practical option of taking the transportation provided to them by the government to where ever they need to go. They have set a model that the United States needs to strive for and meet in the near future.

The transportation sector is continually evolving. Whether moving people or products by land, sea, or air, all transportation strategies need to balance proficient network design and operations with rising intricacy, government supervision, environmental accountability, security risks and demands for flexibility and performance from consumers. Transportation solutions saturate all facets of business and comprise about ten percent of all economic action. Global economic disruption and explosive fuel pricing are driving the need for more restricted operations, ground-breaking service offerings, and inspired business models. The capability to manage change and drive continual process improvements are vital to transportation enterprises that want to uphold competitive advantage and survivability (Transportation and Logistics, n.d.).

Innovations that improve the functioning of transportation modes are occurring across all modes of the transportation industry.

Private carriage is an important part of the U.S economy and world over as well. The development of private fleets became pervasive after World War I when governments, local, state, and federal, developed highways. It is an important complex task to operate private fleets whereby significant pressures related to cost and maintenance remains pervasive in the industry. Along with industry related challenges, there are several factors related to compliance, safety, and accountability (CSA) enforcement that private fleet owners have to consider.
