Transportation

The State must ensure sufficient investment and long-term funding for our transportation system, which is essential for a strong economy, the sustainability of our businesses, and the livability of our communities. To achieve this goal, the Chambers will:

  • Support targeted state investment to increase roadway capacity, transit, and other alternative transportation modes
  • Support continued investment in freight mobility and multi-modal projects
  • Support additional revenue resources available to local jurisdictions
  • Support alternative funding mechanisms including public-private partnerships and tolling
  • Recognize the coordination and integration that already exists among transportation agencies and support maintaining the local control and accountability of local transit agencies
