Transporting Wisconsin's Economy video introduction transcript

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle

"Hello, I’m Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation and I are committed to promoting economic growth and development. My Grow Wisconsin economic plan invested in all modes of transportation throughout the state as a way to promote job growth and strengthen business. Through this video we are proud to showcase one of the safest and best transportation systems in the country. Thank you for helping us grow Wisconsin." 

WisDOT Secretary Frank Busalacchi

"Wisconsin DOT is really the key, the backbone, to what we’re doing with the economy in this state. When you put a dollar into transportation you get three dollars back. It is not just about roads with us, it's about airports, it's about rail, it's about even the Lake Express ferry. All these things are good transportation projects. We’re trying to make this state more friendly for business and that’s why the state of Wisconsin right now is leading the Midwest in job creation - 70,000 new jobs this year alone. Because we know what businesses need, the Governor is committed to transportation and he acknowledges the importance of it."
