DENVER, CO - Representatives Tisha Mauro and Stephanie Vigil today released the following statements on the first meeting of the Transportation Legislation Review Committee:
Statement from Representative Tisha Mauro, D-Pueblo:
“As a member of the Transportation Legislation Review Committee, I’m excited that we are getting back to work on a transportation system that better addresses the needs of Coloradans. In our first meeting, we engaged with organizations from across the state about safety standards, air pollution, mass transit ridership, and other important topics to guide us as we consider potential legislation. These important discussions will allow us to better understand the successes and outstanding issues we can work with to expand safe transportation options and continue my hard work on expanding passenger rail services to Pueblo.”
Statement from Representative Stephanie Vigil, D-Colorado Springs:
“Coloradans deserve a transit system that gets them where they need to go safely and affordably, whether it's for school, work, to worship, to access healthcare, or to be an engaged citizen. Today’s meeting was critical in updating our interim committee about recent or ongoing issues with our railroads, highways, bike and pedestrian infrastructure, as well as mass transit services. I look forward to continuing conversations with our community members, transit agencies, environmental organizations, the disability community, and other crucial voices to see how the legislature can better meet our state’s changing needs.”
