Washington Is Facing A Transportation Crisis

“Our transportation system is the economic engine moving people and goods across our state. When we invest in our transportation infrastructure, we reduce congestion, improve safety, and lay the foundation for future economic growth.”

- Senator Patty Murray

Senator Murray is widely recognized as a leader on transportation issues in the United States Senate. Senator Murray is the chair of the Senate committee that funds the U.S. Department of Transportation. That means she is responsible for helping decide how and where federal dollars are spent across the nation’s vast transportation network. This includes maintaining the interstate highway system, improving our airports, expanding public transit in urban and rural areas, and investing in research and safety programs.

In addition, Senator Murray works hard to secure funding to address Washington state’s transportation needs. From bridges and transit, to highways and trade corridors, Senator Murray’s work has helped:

  • Reduce Congestion
  • Increase Safety
  • Create Jobs
  • Attract New Businesses
  • Improve Quality of Life
