In 1920, the most popular mode of transportation was the automobile. By the end of the 1920s, one in five Americans owned a car, and it became a symbol of middle-class life. The proliferation of automobiles led to the construction of roads and the expansion of suburbs.

In the 1920s, the automobile, especially the Ford Model T, emerged as the most popular mode of transportation in the United States. While cars gained prominence, trains and electric streetcars continued to play significant roles in intercity and urban travel. This shift towards personal vehicle ownership marked a transformative moment in American society and transportation.
