In 1980, America's transportation system was characterized by a mix of automobiles, railroads, and airlines. The Interstate Highway System facilitated personal and commercial vehicle travel, leading to increased car ownership and suburbanization. Railroads were primarily used for freight transport, while airlines began to expand following deregulation in 1978, making air travel more accessible to the general public.
