Created with Fabric.js 1.4.5 Transportation By: Quinlan Laverdiere The ability to transport materials and finished goods over a specific amount of time all depended on the Industrial Revolution. Waterways, roads, and railroads were the 3 main types of transportation that increased during the Industrial Revolution. Transportation was important during the Industrial Revolution because people needed ways to get from and to places and people started moving to the West and living there. During the Industrial Revolution, transportation was the cheapest way to move big and heavy materials such as iron and coal. During the Industrial Revolution, it took months to transport one letter or pass information somewhere.

Social Changes: First of all, roads were improved, then after that, canals were built, and finally the railways were developed or invented. Each of the changes had some sort of impact of the country's life and shortened the time of transportation because of the new inventions. Before roads and railways were invented, people has to travel on wooden tracks and pulled by horses. The way people would travel (by horses) would, take days to travel from town to town. Six times every year, people would have to go and fix the roads if they were all bumpy and lumpy so the roads would be straight and easy to walk on and do things on since cars weren't invented then. After the roads were all straight, bridges were built. As iron-making and textile production were getting improved, the action of demanding for more goods was putting pressure on the transport system. Canals became a popular mode of transportation after the construction of the Bridgewater Canal. The benefits of the invention of railways was the speed of transportation to transport goods faster. Economic Changes: Productivity, employment, business activity, property values, and investment and tax revenues were all transportation projects that have a lot of impacts on a communitys economic development. Transportation can improve businesses, services, education, and employment. They can also reduce transportation costs like time travel, vehicle costs, safety benefits, and emission. Many of the economic impacts include economic transfers, while other choices are true resource changes. Not from societys perspective, from the perspective of the people who gain things from an economic transfer, the distribution of impacts are important. Economic impacts are important[both negative and positive] to recognize the full range of economic impacts, like mentioned before, that a transportation project may occur. Improving a certain area in particular can display businesses to more competition to/for other businesses, not just businesses but anything really. While this is happening it will also reduce business activity in that area.
