Urban mobility has been a concern of professional planners and city officials since the end of World War II and the proliferation of the automobile in our society. In fact, the history of transportation policies indicates that massive roadway construction as a means of reducing urban congestion had the opposite effect. In fact, Federal subsidies originally designed to reduce congestion inadvertently led to the private automobile becoming the dominant form of urban transportation, thus creating our Auto-Nation. During the 1950s and 1960s the automobile easily became the most dominate form of urban mobility as public transit faced near extinction.

Conspiracy Against Public Transit

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, public transportation was the new innovative technology in urban mobility. Starting with the horse-drawn carriage and eventually progressing to the electric streetcar and the combustion engine propelled bus, urbanites embraced the new form of transportation. However, the development of mass-produced parts allowed the automobile to become affordable to most city dwellers. Within a few short decades, public transit faced extinction. Several conspiracy theories abound claiming General Motors, the oil and rubber industries, among others, colluded to promote the car as the new and preferred form of urban mobility in the years following World War II. Whether it was conspiracy or choice, Americans began a relationship with the car that was unprecedented.
