| 摘要： | With the passage of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, the federal-aid highway program began--very, very slowly. World War I kept road building materials and personnel in short supply. By 1918, changes in the new highway program were needed. Long-distance road advocates and farm-to-market advocates continued to disagree about how federal aid should be spent. Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads (BPR), and the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) crafted the Federal Highway Act of 1921, which favored the farm-to-market routes, but allowed some funds to be used for interstate routes. This article chronicles the developing partnership between federal and state agencies from 1916 to 1939. The 1920s were boom years for road building and by the end of the 1930s, statewide planning surveys and analysis would be the basis for President Franklin Roosevelt's fledgling interstate highway system. Sidebars describe the work of Thomas MacDonald, chief of BPR for 34 years, and his concept man, Herbert S. Fairbank, who was responsible for state surveys. |
