I I have to say it's transportation is among maybe the thing I'm most passionate about and the work that your team that your members do work that your members do to make our streets safer is saving lives and really value it.
2:36:29
So if there's any ways that my office and I can celebrate and recognize your your members and the work that they're doing every day in our community.
2:36:39
