More Transportation Woes
As we get ever closer to the next half of the 105th General Assembly, our transportation funding shortfalls are going to dominate more and more of the Legislature’s time. Rather than try to accurately summarize the problem as a whole, I have attached a few PowerPoint presentations that were provided by the Tennessee Department of Transportation and the NCSL (National Conference of State Legislators). These slides detail current funds, projected shortfalls and give a good comparative analysis of how Tennessee ranks with other states on the issues and challenges at hand. The slides are busy in some areas, but the information is very good. Please feel free to post your comments on this important issue.
