The Interstate Highway System is a network of highways that forms a portion of the National Highway System in the United States. The project that brought the system into being was championed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who authorized the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, though planning for the system had begun in the 1930s. As a result, the system is officially known as the Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials organized a project beginning in the late 1980s to interview individuals that played an important role in the planning and implementation of the construction of the interstate highway system in the United States. The collection consists of both bound and loose copies of interview transcripts, audiotape cassettes of the interviews, and chronological files on the interstate research project itself.
The Special Collections Research Center holds many other collections on transportation and planning.
Arranged by name of interviewee.
