Friday: International Transportation and Infrastructure Summit in Irving, Texas

I'm up and out of here by 4:00 a.m. to get through the Dallas rush hour traffic and into Irving by 8:00 a.m. to sit on a panel at the 12th Annual Transportation and Infrastructure Summit. I'll be on the panel with eight Texas legislators to discuss the importance of transportation to our respective states and strategies to sustain and grow the American economy through sound transportation policies. After our panel, there will be other discussions on high speed rail, HOV lanes, reliever airports, and tollways before U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison gives the keynote address. I'll blog the event as I'm able.
