DENVER, CO - Representatives Tisha Mauro and Stephanie Vigil today released the following statements on the Transportation Legislation Review Committee meeting on Friday:
Statement from Representative Tisha Mauro, D-Pueblo:
“From reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving our air quality to ensuring Coloradans can get to work and school without access to a car, it is important that the legislature takes steps to create transportation systems that all Coloradans can rely on. The Transportation Legislation Review Committee heard from many transportation organizations and departments, giving us a better picture of what issues need to be addressed to improve our transportation and transit systems. I’m excited to continue these policy discussions so we can better support an efficient and equitable transportation system.”
Statement from Representative Stephanie Vigil, D-Colorado Springs:
“As a multi-modal resident, I understand all too well how important transportation choice is to our communities. Whether we drive, take transit, or cycle, the built environment needs to work for all Coloradans, and allow us all to have safe, affordable, convenient travel. From the high cost of vehicle ownership to reducing carbon emissions, there are plenty of reasons why Coloradans want more transportation choices. After hearing from transit agencies, environmental organizations, and other important voices in our communities, we have a better idea of how to meet the transportation needs of all Coloradans.”
