Wyoming’s interstates, highways and airports are vital to many industries in our state.  We rely on our roads to bring visitors to our great natural sites and the nation’s economy relies on the roads to transport goods.  Our airports are home to commercial and general aviation activities. 
 
During the 111th Congress, the Senate must address the surface transportation reauthorization and the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization.  These pieces of legislation will directly impact Wyoming’s highways and airports.  The interstates that cross our state provide a vital national link that benefits the entire country and it is important we properly maintain them.  The commerce that crosses our state each day carried by trucks, trains, and planes keeps our nation running and our citizens provided with fuel, food, clothing, and more.
 
As a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I look forward to working on the funding mechanisms needed for these various transportation programs.  As the Finance Committee and the full Senate debate the aviation and surface transportation authorizations, I will support efforts to ensure that Wyoming receives the necessary resources to meet our state’s growing transportations needs.
