WHEREAS, The observance of Green Light Houston Day at the |
|
|
State Capitol on February 26, 2025, provides a welcome opportunity |
|
|
to recognize Transportation Advocacy Group-Houston Region for its |
|
|
many achievements; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in 2011, TAG Houston is an affiliate of the |
|
|
Greater Houston Partnership; the organization works to increase |
|
|
mobility and enhance the quality of life for area citizens, and it |
|
|
has played an instrumental role in the passage of transportation |
|
|
legislation at the local and state levels; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TAG has helped to build the city's reputation as a |
|
|
hub for transportation; Houston boasts an extensive network of |
|
|
roadways that encompasses major highways such as Interstate 10 and |
|
|
Interstate 45, and its rail system serves as a critical resource for |
|
|
the movement of both freight and passengers; in addition, the city |
|
|
features a robust maritime system that includes the Port of |
|
|
Houston, one of the largest ports in the United States; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Since 2015, TAG has spearheaded Green Light Houston |
|
|
Day to raise awareness of the region's mobility needs and discuss |
|
|
transportation projects with legislators; for this year's event, |
|
|
the organization is joined by the Highway 36A Coalition, BayTran, |
|
|
and the I-69 Alliance; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, TAG Houston has contributed greatly to the growth |
|
|
and prosperity of the region through its focused and effective |
|
|
advocacy, and the organization is indeed deserving of recognition |
|
|
for its outstanding service; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2025, as Green Light |
|
|
Houston Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm welcome to the |
|
|
visiting delegation. |
