We must do all we can to support our state's network of roads, bridges, and public transit. The maintenance and improvement of these transportation systems is an important issue for public safety, economic development, and quality of life. I will look for responsible ways to invest in these systems and bring them forward for the next generation.
On Cape Cod, we have a special concern -- our two canal bridges (which, coincidentally, reside mostly within the Fifth Barnstable District). I pledge to work with federal, state, and local officials to make sure these bridges are properly maintained, expanded/replaced when possible, and that they always remain toll-free.
