One participant's response of special interest:

"The General Assembly controls the funding necessary to bring about solutions to the region's transportation challenges - challenges which affect the entire state since goods must be distributed statewide. Through the nonprofit community, we can develop the grassroots capacity to educate the public, policy makers, and candidates for General Assembly seats about how transportation challenges in Hampton Roads impact the entire state. Involving the community at large in making the case for transportation fixes may have been missing in previous attempts at resolving the issue."
