Paving the Way to Jobs
02/24/12DANIA BEACH, Fla. – One big area of concern for many South Floridians is traffic congestion. Many find themselves stuck in traffic every day, looking for ways to make their commute faster.
President Obama’s budget proposal lays out plans for spurring job growth right away by investing $50 billion for immediate transportation projects in 2012. Although infrastructure projects take time to get fully underway, these investments would generate hundreds of thousands of jobs in the first few years—and in industries suffering from unemployment. Specifically, the plan calls for investing in rail projects, highway programs, and creating more livable and sustainable communities.
On Friday, February 24, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) discussed these investments and what they could mean for South Florida. She was joined by Peter Rogoff, the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration, and Broward County Commissioner Kristin Jacobs who also serves as chair of the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority Governing Board. Richard Brown, a local bus driver, also talked about his personal experience working in transportation in South Florida.
