Local Leaders Call on Minnesota Lawmakers for Transportation Funds

Transportation Forward Coalition

The Transportation Forward Coalition is traveling around the state and encouraging local leaders to push for transportation funding. 

The goal of the project is to increase statewide funding for all transportation modes.

They hope to connect communities through this initiative.

This morning Dave Van Hattum, Transportation Forward Chair, and Frank Jewell, St. Louis County Commissioner for 1st District, stopped by FOX Sunrise to talk about the movement.

They said the real urge is to get legislators from both sides of the aisle to work on this together.

They also mentioned the strong need for improving roadways and bridges in the Northland.
