Issue Position

Transportation in Louisiana is abysmal and getting worse. We have failed to make appropriate investments in our infrastructure over the past few decades and if the system continues to erode it could have some long term ramifications on our jobs prospects. I have continually fought for increased road funding and we need to look at all the ways we move goods and services in the state. The Mississippi River is an important means of moving goods and its importance will become even more meaningful as more and more goods are produced in the state. From highways to rail, we can and must take a multimodal approach to moving goods and people and make the investments now that prepare our state for the future it can have.
