Graves Gives Keynote Address at the Missouri Transportation Conference

Statement

U.S. Representative Sam Graves spoke to the Missouri Conference on Transportation this afternoon in Jefferson City. Graves, the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Highway and Transit, delivered the keynote address. The conference was organized by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and focused on various issues facing Missouri's transportation system.

"The Missouri Department of Transportation faces a daunting task, and I want to be sure they have the support they need to maintain one of the largest statewide highway systems in the country," Rep. Graves said following his address. "Congress passed a long-term federal Highway Bill that will give Missouri the resources to improve roads, fill potholes, and rebuild bridges, but it is important that we are able to take full advantage of the law. I am glad we are having this important conversation, and I am thankful for the opportunity to speak to the conference today."
