“You get more bang for the buck expanding capacity with rail than by building more lanes. The Eisenhower Interstate System is now mature. We need similar vision for the 21st century. We don't just need more lanes of pavement. We need to ask how we?re going to move freight in this country. And the answer should include rail.”
David Foster
“Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.”

“It's not just about terrorism. We have Interstate 81 and rail lines which make transportation disasters a possibility. People shouldn't think because we live in a smaller town we don't have to worry about civil preparedness.”
Cheryl Weaver
“Certainly, the biggest project we have under way is the second half of Interstate 79 to get the southbound lanes completed (this) year.”
Dan Cessna
“This project is designed to preserve and improve two interstate highways that are critical to the transportation system in southeastern Pennsylvania.”
George Dunheimer
“We need to create an interstate system, ... We created an interstate highway system. Surely we can create an interstate transmission system so that we can get energy to the people who need it.”
Tom DeLay
“Interstates and parkways ... we recommended going to 70, and some of the four-lane non-interstate, non-parkway roads we recommended going to 60 miles per hour from 55. Many of the rural interstates are now six lanes and not four lanes like they were at that time, which, in my opinion, makes them even safer.”
