Whereas, The improvement, protection and preservation of Michigan’s highways,
roads and streets, airports, railroads, public transportation systems, lake
ports, bicycle paths, and walking trails will enhance our ability to deliver
the products of our state’s businesses, farms and factories, as well as
our ability to live, work, and travel wherever we choose; and,
Whereas, Transportation is more vital to building Michigan’s economy
than ever before; and,
Whereas, A diverse workforce of thousands of Michigan citizens work in the
transportation field, including workers in automobile factories and supplier
firms, employees of public transit systems and airlines, and the men and women
who design, build, and operate our highways and other transportation systems;
and,
Whereas, transportation workers pledge to secure and protect our critical infrastructure
from any threats, foreign or domestic, with coordinated emergency response plans
in every community and at the state level; and,
Whereas, Michigan Transportation Week is an opportunity for all citizens to
recognize the importance of maintaining and improving all of our transportation
modes for the people and economy of our Great Lakes State; and now therefore
be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim the week of May 11, 2003, as Transportation Week in Michigan.
