The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was a regulatory agency tasked with overseeing transportation activities and enforcing laws pertaining to interstate commerce in the United States. Some synonyms for the ICC include National Transportation Authority, Federal Transit Administration, and Federal Railroad Administration. These organizations have similar goals to the ICC, but each focuses on specific modes of transportation, such as buses, trains, or trucks. Some other related terms would include transportation regulation agencies and government transportation departments. The ICC was dissolved in 1995 and its responsibilities were divided among other federal agencies, but its impact on modern transportation can still be felt through its legacy of protecting consumers and promoting fair competition.
