In The Drive for Dollars, Jeffrey R. Brown, Eric A. Morris, and Brian D. Taylor tell the largely misunderstood story of how freeways became the centerpiece of US urban transportation systems, and the crucial, though usually overlooked, role of fiscal politics in bringing them about. With the nation's transportation finance system at a crossroads, this book sheds light on how we can best fund and plan transportation in the future. The authors offer a way forward that will spread the financial burden more equitably, provide travelers with better mobility, build more appealing communities, and safeguard the planet. |
