Jimmy Carter, Proclamation 4500 (1977)
“ Our Nation's transportation network provides us with the goods and services we need and the mobility in work and play that we want.While our transportation systems have improved in recent years, they can still be made more efficient, accessible, and responsive to the needs of the nation. The Federal Government should take the lead in establishing and carrying out policies to help reduce energy consumption, curtail environmental abuses, and increase competition. ”
