Continued distrust of railways contributed to the decision of the [[Government of Urcea|Urcean government]] to pass the State Motorization Act in [[1925]]. Though the Motorization Act was primarily aimed at motorizing the armed forces, it also appropriated large sums to help spur automobile adoption by giving provinces funds to build paved roadways. It was the first in a long series of measures deliberately intended to undermine the power and influence of the railroads, and motorization of the Urcean economy was a significant public policy issue for populists within both major political parties throughout the first half of the 20th century. | |||
