Abstract:The Federal-aid highway program began on July 11, 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916. The Good Roads Movement that began in the 1880s and led to creation of the U.S. Office of Road Inquiry (ORI) in the Department of Agriculture in 1893 had agitated for a Federal role in road construction. The movement, originally based on the popularity of bicycles, became even stronger in the automobile era. By the 1910s, pressure was increasing for Federal funding to improve the Nation’s roads, but just what shape the aid would take was the mystery Congress would have to solve.
