quality deteriorate. This legislation will not impact the state's ability to                        
do so.                                                                                              
                                                                                                    
This proposal represents a modest, user-pays approach to expanding                                  
and improving our state's transportation infrastructure.                                            
                                                                                                    
I urge your prompt and favorable action on this measure.
