"The time has come once again for America to invest in essential infrastructure, such as highways, bridges, and rail lines. Throughout my career, I have supported green transportation initiatives and high speed rail technology, which will curb pollution and ease crowding on our roads and in the skies. Now, we have a chance to make this dream a reality."

- Senator Roland W. Burris 

Senator Burris believes the time has come to renew America’s aging transportation infrastructure. By harnessing essential improvements in building methods and materials, we can make bridges and highways safer and easier to maintain. We can invest in green transportation technology and revitalize the ties that bind our communities to one another and to our shared national identity.

By updating and improving our federal aviation guidelines, we can modernize our aging air traffic control system and make air travel safer and more efficient.

Senator Burris also recognizes the great American railroad as an essential part of our nation’s history. Just as rail travel helped give shape to America’s past, Senator Burris believes that it has an important role to play in our future.
