“I’m honored to accept this new role leading this important committee,” said Outman (R-Six Lakes). “Transportation plays a vital role in our economy, public safety and quality of life. I look forward to working with my bipartisan colleagues on the committee as well as relevant stakeholders and citizens to influence positive change for the people of Michigan.”

State Rep. Pat Outman today voiced strong support for House Speaker Matt Hall’s updated road funding plan that would provide billions in additional resources for Michigan’s roads—without increasing taxes. The plan prioritizes fixing local roads that people drive on every day, not just highways.
