As our region grows, we need to stay ahead of the transportation demands. Laurie is an advocate of modern, clean, green transit and transportation choices that work for everyone. For people this means more investment in transit, car pool incentives and non-motorized transportation. For freight, this means a fair regulatory environment, encouragement of multi-modal transportation, and protection and enhancement of the Port of Tacoma. The Port of Tacoma is a key to our economic strength, we must make sure it remains vital and busy, providing growth and jobs.
