We must reinvest in our country’s infrastructure today to support the cars, planes, and railroads of tomorrow that move goods and services, and most importantly Americans. Improvements made to our roads and infrastructure not only increase safety, but provide jobs to our growing community. When taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly on transportation projects and are financed in part with our fair share of Federal support, our community's potential grows.
