The U.S. Post Office was considerably involved in the early history and development of trans- portation. During the 1800s, the demand for postal mail was increasing, which prompted the U.S. Post Office to launch and aid in the use of several transportation inventions. Trains, steamboats, and stagecoaches were used to deliver mail throughout the 1800s. By 1912, gas powered vehicles were used for postal delivery in eight different cities.
