Challenges of The Future
In the past, a combination of private enterprise, what we now call public-private partnerships, toll revenue bonds, and Federal Highway Funds, and funding from the state's general fund have combined to pay for the many crossings. As of 2010, replacement and capacity considerations combine to form some of the greater transportation challenges, placing these needs high among the region's priorities. They are frequently the subject of much debate among citizens, community leaders, and state officials.

Famous quotes containing the words challenges and/or future:
“The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
