Perry: We Need Long Term Solutions on Transportation, Not Yet Another Band-Aid

“One of the core functions of the federal government is to ensure that America has the necessary transportation infrastructure to keep our economy moving here at home and strengthen our competitive edge in the global economy. Year after year, we keep kicking this can down the road with short-term fixes and budget gimmicks while our infrastructure continues to crumble around us. This ongoing uncertainty weakens our economy, hurts small businesses and leaves too many of our citizens stuck in traffic when they’d rather be living their lives. We can’t avoid this issue any longer. We need long-term solutions that will make our transportation system safer and more efficient, help grow our economy and spur job creation.”
