Benson Statement on Proposed Transportation Spending

(TRENTON) – Assembly Transportation Chairman Daniel R. Benson (D-Mercer/Middlesex) released the following statement on Tuesday:

“I welcome the governor’s proposals on transportation spending. We need a thorough discussion of New Jersey’s transportation future if we’re to ensure a strong economy going forward.

“I am particularly interested in the plans to increase help for NJ Transit. We all know we need a reliable mass transit system if New Jersey is going to thrive.

“I look forward to a thoughtful review of the governor’s plans, both as transportation chairman and as a member of the budget committee.”
