The October 2 letter, signed by WGA Executive Director Jack Waldorf, addresses strategies and priorities for DOT to adopt to improve transportation systems. “Western Governors encourage your consideration of the recommendations highlighted in these resolutions and urge DOT to engage directly with states and territories before publication of the final strategic plan,” reads the letter. “States and territories are critical partners in managing the nation’s transportation infrastructure.” Read the correspondence in full for further details.
