Issues
Investing in our Infrastructure
Infrastructure is vital to the health of Hennepin County - and to the health of our economy and our residents. We cannot afford a 20th century network for 21st century needs, which is why I have been a fierce advocate for investing in a transportation network that works for everyone, whether you walk, bike, use transit or drive a car. We must look towards the future in how we invest in our transportation network.
-
Building out a truly multi-modal regional transit system that includes safer streets for pedestrians and bikers, and expanding our bus lines and light rail
-
Supporting Metro Transit operating budget with adequate funding for full operation of expanding system
-
Using Metro Transit as a partner not just in service but in equity by making Metro Mobility a human service funded by that budget, expanding livable wage transit careers for operators and mechanics, and making transit free for students
