Titus and Berkley Seek Answers to Slow Spending on Recovery Act Transportation Projects
“It is inexcusable that Nevada ranked 46 out of 51 in its implementation of this critical component of the Recovery Act. Unemployment in Nevada is 12.5 percent, the third worst in the nation. Successful implementation of the Recovery Act, and particularly its transportation and infrastructure programs, is essential to create and sustain middle-class jobs in our State. We urge you to take the steps necessary to ensure that Nevada improves its implementation of the Recovery Act to create jobs in Southern Nevada and across the State.”

Titus Letter to LaHood Expresses Concerns About Pace of Recovery Funding in Southern Nevada
"My Congressional District in Clark County, Nevada, has been particularly hard hit by the current economic recession.  I supported ARRA on the promise that it would jumpstart our economy and save or create thousands of jobs.  I was particularly proud of the investments this legislation made in our aging transportation system.  However, I am concerned that ARRA has not gotten off to a quick enough start in Southern Nevada."

Titus Applauds Release of $33 Million in Stimulus Funds for Regional Transit in Southern Nevada
“These funds will not only help improve our region’s growing transportation needs, but it will stimulate our economy by putting people to work at a time when our unemployment is at a 25-year high.  These investments in public transportation can also help relieve congestion while providing travel options that are better for our environment.”
