The Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-17, Apr. 2, 1987, 101 Stat. 132) is a United States Act of Congress, also called the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987. It nominally gave power to apportion money to the Secretary of Transportation. Most noticeably it allowed states to raise the speed limit to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) on rural Interstate highways.

Meaning cars and trucks and things, as opposed to air transportation, which is so much faster. It can also mean by ship if the "surface" is water.

This encompasses railroads, trucking, non-contiguous ocean shipping and even pipelines not regulated by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Or perhaps better said, everything but by air!
