Interstate 90

Repairing the Problem with America's Transportation System  There is a serious problem with our nation's roads and highways.  I find myself repeatedly avoiding trips to the city for this very reason, as I'm sure many others do as well.  This nerve-wracking congestion is even beginning to find its way into the suburbs and surrounding areas of large cities.  It is a   serious problem that affects everyone who owns an automobile, as well as, businesses that are dependent on reliable and convenient

One of the challenges that the Texas government is failing to keep up with is the state’s transportation system due to the increased population. From 2000-2010 the population has grown by over 4 million people. As of now Texas also has the largest transportation infrastructure in the nation. So can the state of Texas keeps up with the projected increased population of fifty million people by 2040? Or will the state cuts corners and let the infrastructure fall by the weigh side? These are two of the

as air pollution, due to the amount of traffic daily, construction due to the rapid growth, economic slowdowns, car accidents, etc. It is rare to travel to a location 10 miles away in less than 30 minutes due to the abundance of traffic on the interstates and on the roads. The lines of automobiles at red lights are outrageous, and it’s common to see stand still traffic at green lights because of road blockages from cars not moving efficiently due to the timing of traffic lights. All these events:

As un-athletic as Kane was, he excelled at one school sport. Dodgeball. He dove past Gort and tumbled under the GMC. Gort spun and slammed the bat into the ground with a loud thunk a split second after Kane jerked his leg under. Watching Gort’s feet in the blue glow, he rolled back and forth, avoiding the blind jabs until the aggressor tired from the attack and stepped back. Before the slashes resumed, Kane pulled his all-purpose wrench from a pocket and slid forward under the engine. He jabbed the

On December 13th, 1982 one of the most memorable plane accidents happened on Fourteenth Street bridge which happens to cross over the Potomac River. On a cold and snowy day just after 4 o’clock a 737 Boeing airplane crashed into the river near Washington D.C. The flight was supposed to return to Ft. Lauderdale, however, snow in Washington briefly closed the airport. When the airport reopened, the plane was de-iced, but still had difficulties once it got into the air due to the ice.

the purpose of the Interstate Commerce Act. Going even further, in a 1960 Supreme Court ruling, the case Boynton v. Virginia declared that segregation within interstate transportation violated the Interstate Commerce Act and was thereby illegal under federal law. The Court’s ruling deemed segregation in other public areas such as bus terminals, restaurant, and restrooms to be a violation of the Interstate Commerce Act as well. Despite these Supreme Court rulings, the Interstate Commerce Commission

Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 Introduction The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 is federal law in the United States. It was designed to regulate the railroad industry especially its monopolistic practices. A number of states in US such as Ohio had unsuccessfully attempted to regulate railroads before 1887. Ohio had created a state commission to report on railroad and telegraph rates in 1867 but the commission did not have the authority to change rates or to order the railroad companies to change

Family Stories How many times have you heard someone’s survival, wedding or birthing story? (Please keep in mind, unless you are asked to explain a birthing story please do not freely discuss them.

I have acquired an assortment of family stories -from my family of origin as well as my family of procreation

help the federal highway system and public transportation it would just hurt them because the 45 cents raise in cost for gas may sound like it is not much, but when paying for gas that 45 cents would cause it to go up from 60$ for a full gas tank to 90$ for a full gas tank. Another reason why raising the gas prices would be bad is that it would cost so much more to take publ=ic transportation like a Taxi or a Airplane than what it is like now so if the gas prices are raised then the chance of somebody
