The Demise of the National Highway System

By William (Bill) C. McElroy

INTRODUCTION
This short manual contains information that many already know, and information that many do not know. It is about our transportation systems, our roads, and our past, current, and future means of moving people and goods from point 'A' to point 'B'.

MATERIAL COST
It looks at the materials we use for building our transportation systems, our means of transportation on land, and the massive cost in lives and money we incur in our attempts to maintain our systems.

EISENHOWER's LIE AND MISTAKE
The author describes the mistake we made in the late 1950s and he provides a thought on how to proceed for the next 100 years, i.e. the PODS Transportation System.

PODS
This is a chapter on the Point to Point Transport of Goods that we can be using that will provide us with better food, faster just in time productions, and less transportation cost.

ELIMINATION OF ROADS
Can we develop a transport system that eliminates roads, the author believes this can be done.

VEHICLE TRAVEL
There is a chapter on the Advantages of Vehicle Travel as well as chapters on eliminating personal and corporate vehicles in lieu of high-speed rail, people movers, freight movers, drones, and other transport types.

DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA
This is light reading that is designed to be read by all ages, and designed to encourage all to look at our transportation system, and hopefully think about possible changes that can be incorporated for our future, world wide.
