Getting
There: The Epic Struggle Between Road and Rail in the American
Century
"As one governmentally weaned on the New York, New Haven, and Hartford lines and teethed on the Merritt Parkway, I have lived road and rail with mixed emotion and more than a little heartburn. Getting There is a great ride from hell to hope."
Governor Lowell P. Weicker, Jr.
"Getting There is an eye-opening account of our national transportation disaster. Stephen Goddard's persuasive thesis should be understood by every thoughtful American."
Kenneth T. Jackson, author of Crabgrass Frontier: The
Suburbanizing of America, Barzun Professor of History, Columbia
University
"Those who make transporation public policy -- indeed, the greater number who hope to influence its making -- will find Mr. Goddard's explanatory anecdotes and reader-friendly exposition of existing problems a precious and sturdy foundation on which to erect their scaffolds."
Frank N. Wilner, President, Association of Transportation
Practitioners
"Stephen Goddard has constructed a history of how we arrived at gridlock, congestion, and a seriously impaired, out-of-balance transportation system ... Every transportation chairman or committee member of the U.S. Congress and state government legislator should stick this book in their briefcase and carefully read the story of this century's 'Topsy' transportation policy. Goddard makes the solution obvious and so logical."
Gilbert E. Carmichael, Federal Railroad Administrator (1989-93),
Senior Vice President, Morrison Knudsen Corporation
