Abstract:

Legendary transportation leader Frank Turner (1909-1999) crafted one of the great legacies of the "American century," an efficient network of state-of-the-art roadways traversing the United States. Members of the Transportation Research Board's Committee on Transportation History, many of whom were personal friends, colleagues, and proteges, recently examined Turner's "place in history." This article by Damian J. Kulash, President and Chief Executive Officer, Eno Transportation Foundation, Inc., Washington, D.C., comments on Turner's career and his distinctive professional style, balancing technocratic and political agendas.
