YCT Nay. SB 1570 would have directed state transportation funds toward the creation of expanded high-speed passenger rail. Mass transit in Texas has largely been a failure, and high-speed rail is not an option that makes economic sense. Any further increases in transportation spending, if any, should go towards the creation of roads that will either decrease congestion and/or increase safety.
