“There are many challenges in transportation that must be met to adequately serve current and future needs. From the moment you leave your home on any day you use or directly depend on some form of transportation or transportation infrastructure. It may be the sidewalk, the bike path, the highway, the transit lane, the bus system or one of the many other myriad of transportation choices. Transportation is the economic life blood of our state delivering people and goods to their destinations everywhere.
