Interstate Foundation

The Dwight D. Eisenhower Interstate Transport Foundation is a QUANGO non-profit organization of the United States which maintains highway and railroad systems.

History
Dwight D. Eisenhower’s plans for an Interstate Highway System were met by opposition by NIMBYists within the AASHTO and state DOTs. In 1959, an Executive Order was passed, creating the Interstate and Numbered Highway Foundation as a QUANGO. It subsumed AASHTO, and also took over highway numbering from the individual state DoTs.
