An extensive road and railroad transportation system is something that while apparently irrelavant to prevent another Fall, it would help in the evacuation or assistance to any place affected by natural disters, be they a meteor fall or another sort of event. (and it would help in the recovery from another such event).

The President listen to a report regarding the status of the rebuilding of the rail transportation system. The connection with the West Coast had been restored and the rail lines in the east coast had also been restored and improved. But with the 20th Century it was important that roads and highways were going to be needed. As a result the President introduced in his 1913 State of the Union a proposal to build 40,000 miles of paved highway over the next 15 years. It would be the start of a plan to allow the rapid movement of resources and people should another disaster take place. Rep Theodore Roosevelt II would introduce the bill in the House.

To help with the stain on federal budget the President proposed delaying construction of the additional Colorado class battleships to help pay for the road project. A proposal for a toll on the federal highway for a period of 10 years passed the house and now went on to the Senate. This hopefully would provide the money to fund the project.
