Press Secretary Gibbs Answers Questions

The Question:
“Will transit and intercity rail projects be a major component of the infrastructure stimulus package, rather than focusing on highway projects?“
- John B, Chicago

Press Secretary Gibbs' response:
Yes, John, transit and intercity rail projects will be a major component of the President-elect’s infrastructure program. Not only will they provide jobs to help get this economy moving again, but they’ll reduce our dependence on foreign oil, cut the amount of carbon in our atmosphere, clean our air, and more importantly, improve the quality of life for millions of Americans.”
