At the same timehighways and interstates climbed from fifty-five to seventy-four percent. 18 In addition, theEuropean Commission expects a forty-two percent highway freight volume increase between1990 and 2010. The fear of “completely unmanageable” highways has influenced the EuropeanCommunity’s executive to move toward a shift from trucks back to railroads. 18Many developing countries are experiencing problems as a direct result of rapid urbanization.The amount of freight being shipped coincides with population growth. If the United States, oneof the wealthiest nations in the world cannot afford to keep up with this kind of growth, how isthe rest of the world going to do it? If countries continue to
