Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: While national railroad corporations had privatized major transportation iniatives by the close of the nineteenth century, public roads remained the responsibility of the most local of officials: tens of thousands of pathmasters cared for New York State's public ways, overseeing local residents in an effort to keep their rough roads open for travel. Over the next forty years, public road building authority evolved dramatically, and the vanguard of transportation development returned to the public sector. An uneasy alliance of progressive farmers, urban bosses, reform politicians, and wealthy bicyclists reformed the state's highway policy by augmenting the local system of road administration with increased state authority. And by 1916, the federal government supported state highway construction through grants in aid. By the 1920s, New York and the nation at large had taken vast steps toward the creation of a modern highway infrastructure. Through a close analysis of New York's transportation policy, this paper reveals how a series of policy choices designed to conserve local power resulted in the emergence of a complex federalism in the early twentieth century.
