During President Dwight Eisenhower’s administration in the 1950s, the federal government promoted significant changes in transportation in the United States by
(A) establishing generous subsidies for urban mass transit
(B) sponsoring research to develop less polluting automobiles
(C) funding the construction of the interstate highway system
(D) funding the establishment of a national railroad passenger system
Answer:
Option (C) is correct.
The construction of the interstate highway system was a major
federal initiative of the 1950s, funded by an act of Congress in 1956. The federal government
did not spend substantial amounts of money on research related to automobile pollution
control, urban mass transit, or a national railroad system during this period.
