When I was sworn in as Secretary of Transportation, I had three goals. The third area, building infrastructure, is being debated on Capitol Hill even as we speak. But Phase I of Red Light Running significantly decreased these crashes in 28 of 31 participating communities. This campaign brings focus to the magnitude of the problem. We must learn to share the road.
Drivers have to want to be courteous.
We can work together to be successful because the best is yet to come. The Red Light Running Campaign is unique. Its success demonstrates that transportation is more than concrete, asphalt and steel. Transportation is the tie that binds. Thank you very much.
