Rep. Frank Wolf this week urged the creation of a blue-ribbon panel, headed by two former governors, to explore how to pull Virginia’s transportation network out of gridlock.

Wolf, a Republican representing the 10th District, sent a letter to Gov. Tim Kaine asking that two of Kaine’s predecessors, Gerald Baliles and George Allen, head a commission to examine the needs of highways, rail, bridges, ports and airports and “provide comprehensive recommendations on how to ensure that Virginians stay on the move.”
