According to Morteza Farajian, @USDOT Build America Bureau, “40% of county roads in America are inadequate for travel & 38,000 rural bridges are in “poor” condition”. Without healthy transportation infrastructure, rural economic development is impossible. #NADOATC

Learning about new Rural Opportunities to Use Transportation for Economic Success (ROUTES) Program from @USDOT Dep. Assist. Jannine Miller. Did you know that 19% of nation’s population lives in rural areas but 46% of nation’s highway fatalities occur on rural roads? #nadoatc

A&R Chair @kyrudy was recently recognized for his efforts in the 2018 budget to return dollars from

My favorite quote from this morning’s @NADOWeb session on 13 Ways to Kill Your Community by @Doug13Ways says local coffee shops are, “Where nothing positive is ever said & truth is never spread”. #NADOATC
