Transparency in Government: Transportation Authorization Requests
This year, through the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU) I have submitted various transportation project requests for authorization funding. After reviewing all of the project requests, I have made sure that all government entities requesting funding in the surface transportation authorization act will result in tangible transportation and safety benefits.
With limited financial resources for an ever-increasing basis for demand, we must establish our priorities clearly and make every effort to maximize the return on dollars spent by tax payers. I believe there must be transparency in government. That is why I adhered to the strict principles set forth by the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure regarding project requests. Every authorization request I made has been posted on this website with complete background information and letters of support from the government entities
