More than economic responsibility, I committed to economic innovation. As the fourth largest metropolitan area in the country, greater Houston must maintain its momentum in creating jobs and developing an infrastructure that is not only efficient but allows our residents to enjoy a quality of life that makes the area a desirable place to live and raise a family. We must maintain our position as the energy capitol of the world, while simultaneously developing environmentally sustainable power sources. As the area's population continues to grow and more vehicles travel our roads, we know that expanding lanes is not going to fix the issue. We must encourage TXDOT to be innovative and develop alternative automated transportation opportunities that can move people quickly over our metro area. In every sector, the work to develop responsible and innovative alternatives is an invitation to create more jobs and fortify economic development.
