We're full of joy seeing so many projects getting @usdot funding across the country... especially the ones in our region!
We strongly believe in the importance of investing in our Nation's #transportation#infrastructure and #mobility.
๐ Our friends at @METROHouston developed a great mobile app to help you get around this weekend. Itโs an all-in-one toolkit with everything you need to ride METRO bus, rail and METRORapid services.

๐ ๐ท It's great to see new #infrastructure in Texas!
The addition of a second bridge will 2X cross-border #rail container capacity in the Laredo-Nuevo Laredo region. The new bridge will allow a 24/7 interchange between Mexico and the U.S. by rail.

We recently celebrated the career of a local #transportation champion! After 37 years, Quincy Allen has decided to end his chapter with @TxDOT.
He served our region as the @TxDOTHouston District Engineer and ended by overseeing all 25 TxDOT districts in Texas. Thank you!๐ฅณ
๐ The @USDOT announced grants to modernize passenger rail service in eight states.
๐ค Although Texas is not one of those states, TAG looks forward to increased funding for a modern high-quality passenger rail for our region to enjoy as well.

By pushing automakers to bring their supply chains to the US, the administration believes it can make #EV โก๐ more mainstream and accelerate toward an ambitious goal: to have 50% of all new car sales be for electric models by 2030, up from only 3% today.
