Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) today along with fellow members of the Panel on 21st Century Freight Transportation, released findings from a study of the United States' freight transportation system.
The only freshman member named to the Panel, Congressman Mullin cited the study as an opportunity to make our nation more competitive.
"If a business wants to remain competitive, it reinvests and improves upon itself," said Mullin. "The same goes for our nation's transportation system, especially when dealing with freight. Our goods must be moved in a timely, efficient manner, which requires a system that is up-to-date and up to standard. We have to make investment in our freight transportation a priority if we want to continue to compete globally."
