Transportation and associated problems are some of the biggest challenges Virginia faces today. We have around 8 million people. However, the roads in Virginia are not capable of efficiently handling such large numbers. Furthermore, the VDOT and the DMV are often inefficient. Governor McDonnell has done a good job of addressing these issues, and has outlined a plan to fix them. The plan includes a Virginia Infrastructure Bank, and therefore money would be moved there instead of more taxes being added. This is a step in the right direction.
Transportation is something that affects everyone, and is an especially crucial problem to fix as the economy remains stagnant. Boosting our infrastructure would create jobs, and would mean that it may be easier for someone to accept a job that's a little farther away. Most importantly, reducing congestion and making our transportation system more efficient would improve all Virginian's overall quality of life.
