It's already that time of year - the holiday hustle and bustle has begun filled with family, friends and so many memories to be made.  It is perhaps the busiest time of year for many of us as we carefully balance our daily demands amidst the season's festivities and fall splendor.  With extra grocery trips, shopping stops and holiday travels - the burden of traffic jams and congestion can heavily hinder our holiday spirits.  While our mobility challenges are magnified this time of year, so should the many opportunities to give thanks for a region filled with so much economic prosperity.  A strong economy means jobs and opportunity for those that call Houston home.  It means that we will have big challenges but that we will also have the chance to accomplish amazing things.    

Our transportation system will be one of our toughest challenges moving forward and TAG is thankful to have your support and commitment.  We are proud to advocate on behalf of a region filled with so many things to be grateful for and a community who understands the importance of investing in ourselves.  TAG is also thankful for the recent passage of Prop 1 and for the ability to serve our region in advocating for additional funding as we march towards the 2015 Texas legislative session.    We will share our policy priorities in the coming weeks and welcome your input.  

We must give thanks for all that we have and commit to preserve our quality of life for our friends, family and fellow Houstonians.   Happy Thanksgiving!
