Atlanta White House Roundtable Reveals Troubles with Traffic Safety

Atlanta White House Roundtable Reveals Troubles with Traffic Safety

Attendees at the Atlanta, GA, White House Roundtable included members of the Atlanta Chapter of WTS International and Anne S. Ferro, Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, a

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 13, 2011

WTS of Atlanta, the association for the advancement of women in the transportation industry, was asked by the White House’s Office of Public Engagement to host a “Winning the Future” Roundtable last month, featuring Anne Ferro, Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration at the U.S. Department of Transportation, during her visit to Atlanta. Many issues were covered at the roundtable, from federal funding of transportation projects to the American Jobs Act, but the emphasis of the discussion centered on the importance of educating the public on the infrastructure funding situation, possible funding solutions at both the federal and grassroots levels, and the future of the transportation industry.

In addition to the Honorable Anne Ferro, attendees at the roundtable included women from across the transportation sector of Atlanta, including Jennifer King, President of WTS Atlanta Chapter and Senior Transportation Planner at HNTB Corp. “This was a great opportunity for women leaders in Atlanta’s transportation industry to get together to discuss key issues related to the industry,” said King. The subjects covered included the following:    

Funding Concerns

    Foundational funding (having a budget in place that is consistent) should be a priority.
    States need to know what to expect so that they can plan for spending.
    The ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) is focused on construction, not engineering.
    A more reliable funding source needs to be established so that transportation projects, which are long-term in nature, can be implemented more effectively.
    Planning on continuing resolutions doesn’t work; states need to be able to depend on reliable funding.
    As a donor state, Georgia only gets back 85% of funds. This needs to be adjusted for equitability across the country.
    Funding needs to be considered for the long-term, for as much as 50 years out.

Education and Awareness

    The general public and many legislators do not understand the infrastructure crisis we’re in, so when solutions are proposed not everyone is on board.
    As an industry, transportation agencies and experts don’t do a good job of “telling the story,” following up on the impacts of transportation projects, and reporting this to the public.
    Federal responsibility should be developing a consistent, technically credible message that can be taken back and conveyed to the public at the local level
    Automobile crashes are less sensationalized than airline accidents, despite far more annual deaths on the highway. The nation has become desensitized to the crisis.

Future of the Transportation Industry

    There needs to be more programs to develop interest in the studies required for skilled transportation professionals.
    Transportation careers are traditionally and predominantly filled by men.
    Awareness about the opportunities in the transportation industry has to begin with parents and programs that build interest at schools at a young age.

“The Roundtable was very productive and gave us an opportunity not only to share concerns, but to brainstorm about some possible programs and initiatives we can think about at the local level,” said King. “Anne Ferro asked for recommendations on how the US DOT could help solve the issues discussed as well.”

Anne S. Ferro is the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an agency of the Department of Transportation. Administrator Ferro’s vision is to eliminate severe crashes and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. Ms. Ferro serves as the head of an agency that carries out its safety mission through a strategic mix of regulations, enforcement, research, grants to states and public outreach. At FMCSA, Administrator Ferro is moving the Secretary of Transportation’s safety mission forward to raise the safety bar for the motor carrier industry. Prior to her appointment to the FMCSA, she led the Maryland Motor Truck Association as its President and Chief Executive Officer from 2003 to 2009. Previously, Ms. Ferro served as the State of Maryland’s Motor Vehicle Administrator from 1997 to 2003.

WTS International and WTS Foundation, headquartered in Washington, DC, has provided more than $ 1,000,000 in scholarships to deserving women throughout the transportation industry, supporting the next generation of transportation professionals and advancing the principles of WTS. WTS is committed to Advancing Women in Transportation through expanding existing scholarship opportunities to women pursuing transportation related degrees, providing and promoting more educational opportunities and career development to advance women in transportation, and initiating, sponsoring and publishing research related to advancing women in transportation. More information can be found at http://www.WTSInternation.org

Transportation YOU is a hands-on, interactive, mentoring program that offers young girls ages 13-18 an introduction to a wide variety of transportation careers. Through the program, WTS chapters work to make a difference in the lives of young girls by offering programs and activities that will spark their interest in all modes of transportation and encourage them to take courses in math, science, and technology, which are the stepping stones to exciting careers that can change the face of the transportation industry.

Easter Seals Meets with White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and Other Top Leaders to Make Sure Families Can Continue to Access the Critical Services and Supports Medicaid Provides

Easter Seals Meets with White House Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and Other Top Leaders to Make Sure Families Can Continue to Access the Critical Services and Supports Medicaid Provides

Representatives from Easter Seals visit the White House

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 12, 2011

Today, Easter Seals and three families living with disabilities from Arkansas, Ohio and Texas visited the White House to meet with several senior leaders—including Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to the President, John Carson, Deputy Assistant to the President, Jeff Crowley, Senior Advisor on Disability Policy, and Kareem Dale, Special Assistant to the President. The group discussed the positive outcomes for children with disabilities, their families, and society through access to health and developmental services provided by the Medicaid program, as well as reaffirmed why Medicaid must not be cut in current budget negotiations.

President Obama continues to convene budget talks at the White House with a bipartisan group of Congressional leaders to negotiate a compromise on deficit reduction measures that could include cuts to Medicaid. Medicaid and other federal programs provide critical – often life-saving – services to millions of Americans living with disabilities. Members of Congress are considering budget proposals that would slash funding and restructure these important programs, potentially eliminating the safety net they provide.

“We’re here to discuss the essential role Medicaid plays in the lives of children with disabilities and their families. Each year, Easter Seals serves more than 1.2 million people with disabilities, all of whom will likely rely on the Medicaid program at some time in their lives,” said James E. Williams, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer, Easter Seals. “Medicaid has already been cut and children with disabilities will be harmed by any additional cuts to benefits or provider reimbursement rates. Our families want to help put a human face on Medicaid by sharing their personal experiences, how they’re lives have been forever changed because of the program.”

During today’s White House meeting, three working families that have children with disabilities who directly benefit from Medicaid and Easter Seals disability experts shared how individuals and their families rely on Medicaid for stability and basic heath needs and spoke to what the loss of Medicaid could mean for millions.

Meet Shannon

Shannon, age 12, and her mother, Roxanne Eaton (Columbus, Ohio). Support from Medicaid helped Shannon, who has Cerebral Palsy, receive therapies to be more independent, which in turn made it possible for Roxanne to return to work.

Meet Al

Al, age 8, and his parents, Dr. James Hunt and DeAnn Hunt (Little Rock, Arkansas). Born with Down syndrome and a heart condition, Al received physical, occupational and speech therapy through Medicaid when their private insurance ran out. He is now attending public school.

Meet Chelsy and Rebeka

Rebeka, age 5, and Chelsey, age 3, and their parents, Joselyn Martinez and Jorge Escobedo (McAllen, Texas). Medicaid helped them meet their many medical needs, including Rebeka’s feeding tube and therapies to learn to walk and chew.

Medicaid offers the stability families living with disabilities need to survive. Without it, Shannon’s mom couldn’t have gone back to work, Al wouldn’t be in a mainstreamed classroom and Rebeka would not be hitting the developmental milestones she is today.

Unfortunately in this market selling a house is not as easy as putting up a sign and hoping that someone will drive buy and buy your house.

Look at Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. He has been trying to sell his house for months. It is obvious that even he can see signs of a poor economic housing situation for the nation. The Obama official has been feeling the reality of the housing crisis since listing his 32 Maple Hill Dr, Larchmont, NY home for sale back in February for approximately ,000 more than what he bought it for in 2004. Despite a price reduction, the home sat untouched for months.

Today, June 3rd 2009, the Associated Press announced that the house has been taken off the market and is being rented to an unidentified family. The message here is everyone is feeling the pain of the housing crunch, even high appointed officials.

]]>

There are only a couple of options available to most home sellers. You can list it with a realtor, list it as a “for sale buy owner” or you can sell your house fast to a we buy houses company like company name. We have heard from many home sellers what some of the biggest aggravation are and have a list below that may be applicable to your situation.

Problems you may sometimes experience selling your house yourself retail:

Months of waiting to sell your house on the retail market.
Most homeowners are not able to finance another houses while their houses is still in their name. In order to buy another home we need to sell the one we currently own. This can only cause more frustration as we try to move. Long rehab, repair jobs and dealing with contractors.
Let’s face it, home buyers are picky and you will be too when you buy your new home. Just like you, the buyer of your new home is going to want everything to be perfect and while have a list of repairs for you to do before they sign the paperwork. This can take extra weeks or months and possibly even a hefty chunk of change if you want to sell your house. Now you will have to research contractors, permits and many other unforeseen situations. Advertising, open houses, showing your house to the curious at all hours.
It’s true, today we have more tire kickers than ever wanting to walk into your house at all hours of the day. It can get old real fast and take what you think would be a fun experience and turn it into nothing but a time waster. Continuing to make the mortgage payments while the house is vacant.
This is a situation that unfortunately can only get worse. We think we can find someone to buy your house fast, but in reality it can take up to six months or more. Think about how much money you could have saved in not having to make that monthly house payment, taxes, insurance, electric, water,etc, etc. if you could have sold your houses the day you wanted to sell months earlier. These expenses can and will add up to thousands of dollars. Selling on the For Sale By Owner market, taking calls at all hours.
This is an option for everyone, but everyone is not a sales person who can handle calls at all hours of the day and night. At first you will love taking the calls thinking “this one is a buyer” but after days, weeks and months, this will wear you down. You won’t have to worry about a foreclosure on your history.
It can happen and it has happened to thousands. You think if I cant sell it for what I owe for it then I will just let it go into foreclosure. That may sound like a solution today, but a home foreclosure will stay on your credit for years and cause many financial difficulties for years to come. Coming up with cash to catch up on house payments, or back taxes if you are behind.
Why be house broke when you can sell your house today!

At Home Solutions Group, Inc, not only can we save you from all of the frustrations listed above, we can also handle all paperwork and close quickly so you can move on with your life. We are home investors and we will take our experience in buying and selling houses and go to work for you immediately.
