Welcome to the Senate Transportation Committee's website.
This site is designed to provide you with up to date
information about the activities of the committee including
meeting and hearing agendas, testimony and links to
legislation. On the left you will find cutting edge
information about transportation policy and legislation.
Whether it's the daily commute, a trip to the doctor's
office or getting the raw materials that keep our businesses
open and competitive, transportation impacts the day to day
life of every Pennsylvanian. Our economy and our quality of
life depend very heavily upon our ability to be mobile. All
major industries, including agriculture and tourism, need an
effective system of transportation in order to be
successful, making it among the most important and visible
functions of state government.
I and my fellow committee members are committed to
ensuring that Pennsylvania's rich history of transportation
innovation and service continue into the future. Please use
this site to stay informed on this very important issue.
Thank you.
Senator Roger A. Madigan |
