Chapter 1 - Transportation System Extent and Use
The U.S. transportation system is an extensive,
inter-related public and private network of roads, airports, railroads,
transit routes, waterways, terminals, ports, and pipelines. Millions of
people and businesses rely on this expanding system to get to work, embark
on vacations, conduct business, and ship goods within the United States and
abroad. This system links regions and connects small and large cities and
urban and rural areas.
