Transportation & Infrastructure
Put simply, improving infrastructure and transportation not only increases the competitiveness of our state economy, but also makes Maine a more attractive place to live. In a rural state connecting people to products can be especially difficult, so the strength of our commerce relies on the maintenance of our ports, roads, railways, airspace, and rivers. These resources – and others such as broadband, sewers, and utility lines – play a key role in supporting our businesses and facilitating the high standard of living that we in Maine enjoy. Our state incurs a debt when we postpone investments in our transportation and infrastructure systems. Preserving and improving our state’s infrastructure and transportation systems is an essential component of any long term path to prosperity, and I am committed to supporting projects that keep Maine moving forward.
