Abstract
This paper discusses how the New York State Department of Transportation carries out its programs for highway improvements amounting to more than one billion dollars a year and discusses immediate and long-range plans for all modes of travel in the state-automobile, bus, subway, truck, railroad, ship, and airplane. The author also takes a look at such future possibilities as dial-a-bus systems, air cushion and electric automobiles, and “third generation” roads for directing vehicles at high speeds to distant points by means of electronic sensory devices.
