Issue Position: Transportation

Issue Position

This year the House has begun to reauthorize the federal transportation bill, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). I have had the opportunity to directly participate in this important legislative process that will fund the nation's transportation programs over the next six years.

I have already begun to work to guarantee that citizens of the 9 th district receive federal transportation dollars. These funds are vital in our efforts to keep Houston moving. More importantly, they'll help address our city's ever-growing challenges of congestion and safety, while creating the kind of jobs that support families and increase our tax base.
