HOW MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED
Motor vehicle
transportation differs from rail, air, pipeline, and some other forms of
transportation because it is not under unified control. Rather, in most of the
world, almost all motor vehicles are privately owned and operated. With the
exception of certain licensed passenger or freight carriers, there is a free selection
among vehicles and the timing, route, and speed of travel, subject only to the
restrictions brought by congestion and regulations imposed for the safety and
welfare of others. Governments at various levels, as one of their primary
functions, have provided and operated the roads over which these motor vehicles
travel and have established agencies to finance, plan, construct, operate, and
maintain them, to license motor vehicles and drivers, and to police their
operation.
In the United States, roughly $0.08 of the
motor-transport dollar is spent for the roads and streets on which vehicles
move. This amounted to $36 billion in 1979. During the years 1921 through 1979,
over $330 billion was invested. A goodly portion of this has come from taxes on
motor vehicles and the fuels they consume.
