Purpose of the Show…
• The Joint Committee on Transportation (JCT) will be holding 12 meetings and local tours around the state for the purpose discussing the need for stable and sufficient transportation funding in anticipation of the 2025 legislative session. The goal of convening these meetings around the state is to: Build public understanding of transportation funding challenges and potential funding tools to address those challenges; Build legislative understanding of statewide transportation needs and shared priorities; Build local, regional, statewide support and a sense of urgency for a transportation funding package focused on maintenance, operations, and safety; Gather input from the public and community leaders about preferred methods for addressing the transportation funding challenge.
