In The Drive for Dollars, the authors clearly describe how money was the catalyst that brought the grand plans to life, both for good and bad." -Robert Puentes, President and CEO, Eno Center for Transportation»

«Without understanding how they were funded and financed, it is difficult to understand the impact of the vast nation's network of roads, streets, and freeways. In The Drive for Dollars, the authors clearly describe how money was the catalyst that brought the grand plans to life, both for good and bad." -Robert Puentes, President and CEO, Eno Center for Transportation»
«The Drive for Dollars tells a fascinating story about the unintended consequences that flow from choosing specific tax options-especially cents-per-gallon fuel taxes-to underpin urban interstate freeway funding. To tell this masterful tale, the authors weave a multi-disciplinary account from the historical records in planning, civil engineering, public administration, and community development. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in urban or transportation history." -Asha Weinstein Agrawal, Director of MTI's National Transportation Finance Center, San José State University»
«This volume is a must read for all those interested in urban planning.»
