Subject Files on Transportation
This series contains materials relating to federal funding for transportation. The vast majority of the records here focus on how things would go haywire if money from Washington was reduced in any way. For instance, constituents describe the dire effects that would be experienced by localities due to cutbacks in aid to mass transit, particularly in the case of Amtrak. Also, Senators and other prominent individuals come out quite strongly in favor of continued appropriations for their pet transportation projects. Senator John D. Rockefeller IV (West Virginia) sets forth in detail the economic benefits completion of the Appalachian Corridor Highway System would have for his home state and the entire region. Related matters covered in this file code include the national transportation policy and bicycle policy of the Bush Administration.
