A MEMORIAL
RECOGNIZING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR ITS DILIGENCE
IN IMPLEMENTING SAFETY MEASURES IN INCLEMENT WEATHER.
WHEREAS, during the severe weather that New Mexicans
have endured this winter and every winter, crews from the
department of transportation are out before dawn making the
roads safe for travelers; and
WHEREAS, due to the valiant and intrepid work of
department of transportation crews in the harshest of winter
conditions, the highways of New Mexico are cleared, salted and
sanded, and commuters and travelers are able to move freely
throughout most of the state by early morning; and
WHEREAS, the department of transportation carefully
monitors the roads of the state and provides traveler
advisories and up-to-date information to the media and on its
web site; and
WHEREAS, the department of transportation's work allows
the business of the state to continue during severe winter
weather, thereby saving millions of dollars in revenue that
might otherwise be lost due to road closures; and
WHEREAS, the department of transportation's work allows
the vital business of our state's democracy to continue as
legislators and citizens travel from many areas of the state
to attend the legislative session during winter months;
