Issue Position: Transportation

Issue Position

The gridlock on our roads threatens our quality of life. Traffic and congestion decrease the time Virginians can spend with our families, decrease our productivity at work, result in higher gas and auto maintenance costs, and it contributes to the pollution of our air, rivers, and bays. Fixing transportation is an economic necessity that requires development of long-term, forward-thinking solutions.

I will work to:

*Provide tax incentives for companies to allow their employees to work from home or telecommuting centers
*Encourage smart growth by ensuring that impacts of future development on our transportation infrastructure are fully evaluated and addressed; discourage suburban sprawl
