Because
of the great distances we travel in South Dakota, we are extremely
dependent on surface transportation for economic development and
daily life. Without adequate roads and infrastructure, the
economy and residents of South Dakota will suffer.
I support full and adequate funding for highway and transit projects,
as well as the infrastructure and support systems these modes of
transportation depend on. As a member of the Senate Budget
and Appropriations Committees, I will continue to make certain South
Dakota receives its fair share of funding for crucial infrastructure
projects.

Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act of 2005 (SAFE-TEA).
