Issue Position

Transportation remains a top priority for me because of its impact on North Alabama. I firmly believe that the state's transportation system fuels economic development in the area and is vital to our continued growth in the region.

Over the years I've worked hard to make sure that North Alabama receives its fair share of federal transportation funding. This is important because without this money many of the projects that are currently underway or that are being considered by the state wouldn't be possible.

Beyond funding though, there are a number of transportation issues that must be addressed to ensure that our transportation networks operate safely and efficiently. From congestion on our roads to port security, we've reached a point in time when problems in one transportation mode can have a sever impact on all the other modes.
