Transportation

The growth of the Third District has brought much good with it, but it has also brought
challenges. Perhaps the biggest challenge is the need to build and maintain a
transportation infrastructure that will make future economic development possible and
keep us from being stuck in traffic all day.
I serve on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, and during the last
reauthorization of the highway bill, I worked to ensure that Arkansas received as much
money as possible. Hence, that bill contained almost $140 million for projects in the
Third District of Arkansas and more than $2.3 billion for our state's highway needs. Air
travel in the Third District has boomed, too, and I continue to work to see that our
airports have adequate capacity to handle this growth.
