“Beyond highways and roads, we need more money for mass transit, intercity passenger rail and freight rail. We have a long way to go to bridge the funding gaps.”

Freight mobility and movement, while not a sexy policy issue, is a highly important one. Capacity constraints and congestion on our nation’s freight rail system create many problems.

I’m leaving because I want to spend more time with my wife in Chicago.

We can’t cross that bridge until we come to it, but I always like to lay down a pontoon ahead of time.

Writing a class without its contract would be similar to producing an engineering component (electrical circuit, VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) chip, bridge, engine…) without a spec. No professional engineer would even consider the idea.

Jeff Bridges is one of my favorite actors in the history of ever.

Large motorway flyovers are the cathedrals of the modern world.

I wanted to pay homage to working women because they are the bridge that got us over.’ My work is about the people who are assumed not to have a worldview.
