Transportation
Coloradans often travel long distances, so it is critical that our transportation and infrastructure systems accommodate safe, affordable, and efficient travel. Maintaining and improving a modern network of roads, airports, and railroads is a continuous process. Transportation and infrastructure projects provide jobs in our communities and support tourism. It is vitally important that federal resources are being used as effectively and efficiently as possible. As Colorado's population continues to grow, so does the stress and demand on our roads and transportation infrastructure. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act was signed into law on December 4, 2015, authorizing $305 billion through 2020 for highways, rail systems, public transportation, and other surface transportation programs.
