Roads and TransportationBy Merita A. CallawayCandidate for State Senator; District 1 | |

$100 billion is needed in transportation. The cities & counties must have a say in how $$ are spent as well as regional views to transporation corridors.Over the past decade little has been done to maintain the existing infrastructure; we have been building captial projects = more roads. We must invest in our existing road systems. Cities and counties have done an excellent job of spending road dollars that are made available. The State must work with local government to support the existing transportation systems, relieve traffic congestion, and invest in our road maintenance. As a County Supervisor who gets many complaints about the condition of local roads, I am committed to working with CalTrans and local government so the transportation community will get projects out of planning and pavement on the ground. We must have a mutually agreed upon strategy. |
