Issues: Transportation

Smartly addressing the transportation challenges of reducing traffic congestion and facilitating goods movements are among the most important issues facing Central Texas. In addition to improving our current transportation infrastructure, I believe we must embrace a multi-modal approach to accommodate the demands both increased population and industrial growth have made on the region.

During my time in Congress I have secured funding for important transportation infrastructure projects including RM 1431 in Cedar Park, the NE Inner Loop in Georgetown, and SH 195 in Williamson and Bell Counties. I have long supported improvements to I-35, which connects not only Bell and Williamson Counties, but is a critical conduit for the rapid movements of goods from Texas' ports to the rest of the nation.

As TX-31 continues its extraordinary growth, I will continue to do all I can to ensure the transportation priorities of the region are addressed in forward-thinking and effective ways.
