Certainly, the most pressing issue is a deteriorating transportation infrastructure, which requires innovation, long-range planning and, of course, investment (Button & Reggiani, 2011). The following study focuses on the deteriorating transportation infrastructure as a major issue facing the state of Texas. The report will also

career I chose is Highway maintenance worker. I chose this job because I am good at working with my hands and getting involved. As well as I can operate big semi trucks and machinery that that job requires me to use. Thus I would be able to advance through ranks quickly. This career wasn’t needed until the year 1925 when the first transcontinental highway was made, state route 30.

Repairing the Problem with America's Transportation System  There is a serious problem with our nation's roads and highways.  I find myself repeatedly avoiding trips to the city for this very reason, as I'm sure many others do as well.  This nerve-wracking congestion is even beginning to find its way into the suburbs and surrounding areas of large cities.  It is a   serious problem that affects everyone who owns an automobile, as well as, businesses that are dependent on reliable and convenient

At the end of every work week, I looked forward to cruising Interstate Twenty. Just me, the highway, and some banging tunes to listen to along the way. I really enjoyed the fact of not having to deal with the stressful environment my job created. Little did I know, this particular Friday night in November, danger lied ahead. It was an experience that I would never forget. It was another week completed of work, and it was my turn to punch out at the time machine. I quickly stamped my card and placed

The Act allowed for the building of a national highway with costs divided between the Federal Government and each provincial government. Construction of the highway began the year after the passing of the Trans-Canada Highway Act, 1950.

A crumple zone is a very important part of a car. Without crumple zones there would be a higher risk of someone dying or getting seriously hurt when involved in a car accident. Before this term I didn’t have a great knowledge on how important crumple zones actually were, how they worked or the different types.

Jack was hoeing in his mama’s garden and thinking that he’d sure like to have a pretty girl to marry. He was thinking about something the Tinker told him the week before. Now, the Tinker was a traveling peddler who sold pots and pans and spoons and things to people who needed them. The Tinker also fixed things that were broken for farmers and town folks, and that’s how he got his name. The Tinker traveled all around and knew all kinds of people and things. The Tinker was telling Jack, while he was
