Interstates were built primarily to improve national transportation and facilitate efficient movement of goods and people across the United States. Initiated with the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, the interstate system aimed to enhance national defense, reduce traffic congestion, and promote economic growth. Additionally, it provided a safer and more reliable road network, addressing the rising need for modern infrastructure in a rapidly expanding postwar economy.

Eisenhower. He learned as commanding general in world war 2 that the Germans were beaten because they did not have enough large highways and railroads to move their tanks, artillery, and soldiers to where they were most needed.
