The Transportation Act

The Transportation Act refers to legislation aimed at regulating the transportation industry, often focusing on areas like railroads, trucking, and shipping. Its purposes include ensuring safety, promoting fair competition, and maintaining infrastructure. In the U.S., for example, the Transportation Act of 1940 aimed to improve the efficiency of freight transport and encourage economic growth. It set policies for the expansion and modernization of transportation networks, ensuring that all regions had reliable access to transportation services. This act is part of a broader effort to support the economy through effective and reliable transportation systems.
