Grow America Act
From the DOT... here is something that hopefully will keep America's Roads from getting worse as the population grows and the need for Transportation expands.
Potholes be damned!!!
From: Anthony R. Foxx
"I am excited to report that today, on behalf of the President, I transmitted a four-year, $302 billion surface transportation bill to Congress for their consideration. This reauthorization bill is the culmination of extraordinary work by DOT staff over many months, and reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to greater investment in our surface transportation system.
This bill puts in place a comprehensive plan to repair and modernize the roads, bridges, rail, and transit systems that our Nation depends upon to move people, energy, and freight. Our proposal would improve the safety and condition of our aging transportation system, and advance the President’s goals of creating jobs and ladders of opportunity across the Country.
But it does more than that. It gives us the opportunity to re-imagine how we will meet the transportation needs of a population that will grow by 100 million in the coming decades.
We named our bill the GROW AMERICA Act, which stands for Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work, with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America. "....
It is good to see our tax dollars heading towards something of basic American value... IMO.
