Beatty on Transportation and Infrastructure
I believe that sustained investments in our infrastructure—including roads, bridges, railways, airports, and mass transit systems—are a commonsense approach to strengthening our economy, creating jobs, and building opportunities for long-term economic growth. That means working to increase the reach and accessibility of public transportation while investing in a robust, multimodal transportation system with an eye towards the future.
