Rather than connecting their communities and expanding their opportunities, highway construction brought demolition, displacement, isolation, and exclusion. According to one estimate, the federal highway system, between 1956 and 1967, displaced more than 300,000 households. — PolitiTweet.org

Our national hwy system, built in the 1950s was a great achievement—a major public investment in infrastructure, transforming our country. We rely on it today. But for too many, especially communities of color, the construction of our hwys had traumatic and destructive impacts. — PolitiTweet.org

By removing burdensome #transportation barriers, we can reconnect communities to opportunities, improve health and safety, and make daily life better. I'm proud to join @SenatorCarper in sponsoring the Reconnecting Communities Act, which do just that. — PolitiTweet.org
