The perennial question asked by kids on a long car trip is the same one all Americans should be asking about our entire transportation network: Are we there yet? Are we where we want to be when it comes to our vital transportation system? Is it reliable? Safe? Energy-efficient? Congestion-free? Does it take us where we want to go? And how we want to get there? The answer is, “We can be!”

Through smart investments, we have an opportunity to rebuild and reshape our transportation system so that it meets the needs we face every day while tackling the longer-term demands of a growing nation. State transportation officials have the plan and the know-how to take us there. We’ve got the facts, now it’s up to you to make it happen.
