Andrade: Texas Business Opportunities Depend on Strong Transportation System

Published: Feb. 1, 2012, noon

b'Few people have been as involved in transportation in the past few years as Hope Andrade, Texas Secretary of State. Prior to her appointment to that position, the Secretary was a member of the Texas Transportation Commission, including several months as its interim chairman. As she told me during our interview, that time on the commission helped shape her perspective on the role transportation plays in the vitality of the state. Meet the Secretary at the Seventh Annual Texas Transportation Forum, February 15-17 in San Antonio. For more information, or to register, log on to our web site, www.txdot.gov/ttf.'
