A one dollar investment today makes for a ten dollar savings down the road when investing in Vermont's existing transportation infrastructure. Titled the "Road to Affordability", Neal Lunderville, Vermont's Secretary of Transportation says the Governor's transportation budget meets much required needs. Its objective - repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance - something not just bridge historians are interested in. With a 47% increase in the Governors proposed budget for preservation related activities and an extra $500,000 to address public transit concerns Vermont's transportation future could be on the "right" track to reducing future costs to residents and reducing emissions and pollution that the State would see with the creation of new roads, bridges, and the lack of public transit. But is it enough? The Governors new transportation budget rings in at $424 million with a 4% increase over current spending without a raise in taxes. [Sources: Rutland Herald & Burlington Free Press]
