The tragic thing is that we're letting our transportation system crumble at the exact moment we need to build it up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The road system that we've come to depend on, the road system that we built our wealth on and our power on, is falling apart.
If we expect to continue our leadership in the global economy, we must invest in a long-term transportation plan -f or both highways and transit programs. Too many of our roads, bridges, and railways have fallen into disrepair.
Mass transportation is doomed to failure in North America because a person's car is the only place where he can be alone and think.
How we fund transportation in this country is broken. You all pay a gasoline tax, right? Well, cars go farther, we get electric cars, and so on. And then we do more with the money than just build roads. We do bike lanes and mass transit.
We actually know that our crumbling pipelines, roads, and bridges are ticking time bombs. That is why President Obama and Congressional Democrats have pushed to fund jobs that repair our roads, runways, and railways - we can't have first rate American communities with third-world American infrastructure.
Our nation's infrastructure needs are tremendous, and they're growing.
We should not be waiting until trains derail, bridges collapse and people die to adequately fund our transportation infrastructure.
The reality about transportation is that it's future-oriented. If we're planning for what we have, we're behind the curve.
The United States transportation system is the envy of the world.
Our goal was to completely change transportation. Change traffic. And make it possible to get anywhere you want to go without owning a car.
