In August 1914, the Panama Canal opens, culminating a series of extensive transportation-related initiatives completed by Theodore Roosevelt. In his two terms as president from 1901 to 1909, Roosevelt uses a series of antitrust lawsuits to successfully disolve the nation's railroad monopolies, opening the door for alternate modes of transport. In 1905, Roosevelt founds the National Forest Service, which leads to the protection of national parks and the creation of a vast network of low-volume, federally subsidized roads. National forest areas also create opportunities for extensive sightseeing bus business.
