Impact Of November Elections On Transportation

" The November elections have wrought major changes in the political landscape. Defying past mid-term election results, the Republicans gained control of the Senate and strengthened their hold on the House. A total of 40 Governorships changed hands, with the Republicans retaining a slim majority of them. Voters have sent mixed signals on whether they want to tax themselves for transportation improvements. Of the more than 40 transportation referenda on the ballot across the nation, half failed, including hard-fought transportation initiatives in Northern Virginia, Cincinnati and Washington State. In this Special Post Election issue, Innovation Briefs speculates how these and other election-night developments will affect the transportation sector in the years ahead."
