A critical goal of the MOVEBR program is reducing congestion so drivers spend fewer hours stuck in traffic while ensuring reliable commute times. To accomplish this, projects include widening major roads, building new roads and synchronizing signals. Another important aspect of this program, that doesn’t receive as much attention, is building community enhancement projects that improve quality of life. You can read the entire message here.
