Alan Colmes

We're not going to do the details environmental analysis, but are there any obvious, major pitfalls? A facility like this can tend to influence development patterns.

In other words, how does it fit within the system, not just transportation but the area as a whole?

Paul Mullen

I think at this point we're waiting for the National Transportation Safety Board report. After that, there's an issue I think regarding the pump on the boat. That may lead to additional defendants.

This expansion, like the two others, will continue to grow our business with both existing and new customers, reduce transportation costs and ensure our commitment to exceptional customer service throughout our network.

Wilford O. Cross

Stephen Doyle

The Ann Arbor line is the clearest opportunity to make the case that safe, modern, convenient and efficient mass transportation can be effective in southeast Michigan. It needs to have a starter line to convince people this can be done and be done well.

Keith Schneider

As we look down the road four or five years from now we'll realize that the Internet is an important customer service enhancement for the transportation industry. But 90 percent of the time the important thing is 'Did the ship get out of the dock on time?' and 'Did it get into the dock on time.' It's the same for truck or rail.

Janet Walsh

We wanted to put together something that would be used by the general public, but would be used by IDOT personnel or other transportation personnel, as well.

Matt Vanover

Randy Vanderhoof

Austin has headliners like Dell, Motorola and UT that would benefit greatly from nonstop service to New York and Boston.

Adam Green

Jacksonville is one of the fastest growing areas in America and needs to have high-caliber transportation options for its citizens.

Transportation Workers Union (TWU) officials are not only holding New York City and its economy hostage to their self-serving demands, but they are potentially jeopardizing the jobs of New York City's 30,000 mass transit workers.

The competition for labor is critical. Connecticut has never looked beyond its own border for transportation issues . . . the work force is moving north and further away, and we need to find ways to connect them.

Joseph Mcgee

It can be great savings. But there can be stress and headache. It's not the kind of transportation for everyone.

Jenn Davis

What's important about this program is they can live anywhere in the U.S. and will receive transportation. They do not have to have an income of their own. They're not alone in this program. It's really a good program and it'll give them a chance to get on their feet.

Patricia Campbell

Southwest Florida will capture its fair share of boomers. But we'll have to deal with transportation issues, work-force housing issues, water-supply issues, and health-care and retirement care will get reshaped.

We're attempting to contract for materials, such as rock, super sand bags, cranes, and also for modes of transportation like barges and helicopters, to close the gap and stop the flow of water.

Nancy Carroll

We've discussed it with the Department of Transportation and folks on the Hill. I think, so far, people have been receptive.

Jack Evans

That's the whole key. It has on it 'the [appropriation] clause' which means we have to find the available funds. The biggest competition any program has is transportation.

Russ Potts

I'm sure there are going to be some programs that are going to have to try to cut back on transportation or making trips. We hate this, but it's just a matter of economics.

Butch Williams

We have been working on this (project) for more than a year. It was the only mode of transportation that would safely, reasonably and cost effectively get this unit there.

Tolling is definitely part of the future of transportation finance. It varies from state to state.

Robert Puentes

Don't feel like CDOT is hearing them. It may be the Department of Transportation, but they still think like they're the Department of Highways.

Bob Smith

Scottsdale as a city is no longer an island, and we have to address some of these transportation concerns.

Rick Kidder

So many of them are either working or have no transportation or are elderly and have leave their home that it's hard to work out at the last minute. But we hope this is the first in a series of programs in which we can bring all sides together.

Rose Adams

This agreement represents the wave of the aviation future, ... The economy and business have gone global; so have communications. Our customers tell us they need the same from us in transportation. No one carrier has the capability or resources to meet this demand alone.

Gerald Greenwald

We actually save the school district a little money by playing these games. There are no bus transportation costs and no umpires to pay.

Dale Buvid

My main concern is that we really get the transportation plan for the project done right.

Paul Gagnon

While phase one is strictly informational we are currently developing a network of charter jet, luxury motor yacht, executive ground transportation companies as well as all inclusive resorts that are geared to meet the needs of the affluent traveler.

Dan Noyes

Will County is a global transportation center.

Adam Roth

If there is a medical need or a transportation need, we want to know before the storm, not after, ... That way we can get people to safety. That is why we are going to have a very active campaign to sign up those with special medical needs.

John Peyton

The impact would be just as strong today as five years ago. Five years ago, we were in the middle of a very strong market for air transportation. It's a whole different picture today. Today, there's a feeling that one strike might lead to another strike, which might create a domino effect.

Gary Toebben

Look at what it means to energy, to transportation, to communications. What you find out is there is just as much threat in Iowa as there is in other states, may not have population density, but doesn't mean we don't have the threat.

David Miller

The birds should be caged in a certain area instead of being allowed to run free and, in transportation of poultry, there has to be strict monitoring.

David Li

We have good men and women who are dedicated to the security of aviation and to the security of the transportation system, and I think we need to recognize that we have more good people working for us than we do bad.

Nico Melendez

Most of our products are transported by truck ... which would carry over to increased transportation costs for those products.

Leslie Johnson

I would maintain we are not in the transportation business, but if we didn't do it no one would do it.

Tom Morrison

It will help Chief (David) Bradley before a hurricane. He'll have better data on how many people need to go off island that do not have transportation and how many have pets.

Jill Davidson

Diesel intended his engine to compete with steam powered engines. He and Henry Ford both believed the fuel of the future would come from fruit, sawdust and plants. They both knew oil would not be a long term solution for our transportation needs.

Fred Wright

We're pleased to be a driving force in this team effort to develop zero-emissions transportation.
