In Xsampa, the easiest way to travel is often with the Xsampan Rail Network. Whether from Gramdkarpo to Metz-Leonid or even using the Xsampa-Bianjie Railway, trains remain a consistent form of travel when it comes to traveling beyond communities. This doesn't mean that cars are ignored. As wonderful as it would be to move on from cars, that's simply an unrealistic goal. So, instead of waging war with commutors, why not give them a helping hand and in the process, boost infrastructure? As such, the goal isn't to create highways for the sake of it. No no, the goal is to connect rural communities even more to the wider Xsampan community, modernize logistics, and ensure faster movement of goods, which is always a win win for local communities and the national economy.

As such, the People's Committee of Infrastructure and Development has set out on preparing a relatively ambitious plan. A 12 year plan, which will ideally connect all major cities and major communities to the proposed Xsampan Highway Network, starting with the A-1 Highway. Being designated as a national highway (which will use the Letter-Number designation going forward for all national highways), the A-1 will look to connect Gramdkarpo and Chugramdu. The Xsampan Job Corps will be mobilized to begin work on the A-1 Highway. By creating a properly defined and properly managed highway system, especially with the port city of Gramdkarpo, to the city of Chugramdu, then this will certainly help in the facilitation of goods, especially into the Sovereign Sea and help out with trade abroad. Plus it boosts local economys. A huge win. 

The ideal goal of this 12 year plan is to connect all Canton Capitals by 5695, connect all major cities in Cantons by 5600, and connect those routes together by 5703. It's an incredibly ambitious plan, and while critics think it isn't possible to achieve in time, which it is very possible that completion of the plan will not meet in time, it's still worth doing as any progress is good progress. While theoretically, several highways (or at least two) could be worked on at a time, in reality, this would be a very quick way to raise the depression rate in government workers and cause logistics strain. Not to mention, ridiculously expensive and while Xsampa is no stranger to reaching deep in the pocket book, Comrade Trengwa did campaign on continuing the War on the Deficit. 

Whatever the case, the A-1 Highway will be a good effort for Xsampans. It'll especially be a good bonus for the Gsergyi Canton.
