On The Issues - Transportation: Addressing Aging Infrastructure

House Page, Muir Powell, asks House Transportation Committee Chair: Jake Fey, (D) 27th District, and Ranking Committee Member, Andrew Barkis (R) 2nd District, "... Currently, over 300 of the state's bridges are over 80 years old, and Washington's interstates are over 50 years old. How do you plan to address our state’s aging infrastructure?" The House Transportation Committee considers issues related to a broad range of multimodal transportation services and infrastructure for all communities and residents regardless of physical and mental disability, income status or age and the intersection of transportation policy with the environment and safety. The committee also considers the transportation budget and revenues to fund investments in transportation and related carbon-reduction programs, and transportation agencies, including the Washington State Traffic Safety Commission, the Washington State Patrol, and the Department of Transportation. 📚 20 min.
