Mary Peters, the U.S. Secretary of Transportation says the future of Missouri transportation is at the crux of the future of transportation nationwide. Peters also highlighted her plan to reduce congestion on the nation's busiest highways and interstates and included Missouri in her Corridors of the Future Program. She listed the I-70 corridor from Missouri to Ohio as one of the 14 stretches of highways and interstates her program will target.
In addition, Peters stressed the importance of finding a working solution to the controversy over the Mississippi River Bridge. She says the Missouri Transportation Department and the Illinois Transportation Department must work together because individual state revenues just won't cut it. Missouri has been pushing for a toll bride. Illinois has rejected that idea. But, Peters says a toll bridge is a viable solution.
