Capitol Watch: Outside research entities assist legislators
Sep 21, 2010
North Texas e-news - These two agencies are examples of how members of the legislature use outside resources to research the issues before them. While it is important that legislators hear from interested parties about issues that directly affect them, it is also crucial that members get information from unbiased sources. CTR and TTI's research provide members with the data they need on the state's many transportation issues. Other universities, such as Texas Tech and Texas Southern, also have transportation research divisions that provide information to the public and to the legislature. This wealth of knowledge from diverse sources is a great asset.
