The National Grange urges Congress to create a national highways commission and authorize $50 million in federal appropriations for public road construction and maintenance. The plan, backed by farmers across 27 states, would fund state projects with at least $100,000 annually per state and prioritize interstate cooperation, engineering oversight, and equal state distribution.
