Senate Resolution No. 6
(By Senators Unger, Prezioso, Jenkins, Love, Wells and Foster)
Designating January 16, 2007, as "West Virginia Transportation
Day".
Whereas, West Virginia's transportation system empowers us to
live productive lives, keeps our economy growing and strengthens
our state's security; and
Whereas, Preserving and enhancing our transportation resources
makes our infrastructure safer, promotes growth in business and
industry, works to protect our nation and improves the quality of
life for our citizens; and
Whereas, West Virginia is a very rural state with many of its
women, elderly, veterans and persons with disabilities living in
areas that are not served by mass transit; and
Whereas, Transportation is an integral part of a person's
ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle; and
Whereas, The purpose of West Virginia Transportation Day is to
increase the awareness of legislators, administrators, policymakers
and the public of the transportation issues that are important to
elderly individuals, people with disabilities and low-income
residents, as well as the general public; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby designates January 16, 2007, as "West Virginia Transportation Day"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to an appropriate organizer of "West
Virginia Transportation Day".
