Did you know that Senator Steve Symms played a major role in shaping Idaho’s Interstate highway system? Through his dedication and bipartisan teamwork, Symms worked closely with Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York to secure essential federal funding for highway construction and maintenance. ??? Their efforts led to increased funding through the Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Assistance Act of 1987, which was crucial for Idaho's infrastructure. Despite their political differences, Symms and Moynihan collaborated to prioritize Idaho’s transportation needs. Symms championed the importance of federal funding, recognizing how a strong highway system would benefit Idaho’s economy and enhance the quality of life for residents. Thanks to Symms’ advocacy, Idaho received its fair share of funding, helping to build and maintain the highways we rely on today. His work stands as a testament to what can be achieved when we come together for the greater good. ?? #PathwaysForwardIdaho #SenatorSteveSymms #IdahoHistory #Infrastructure #HighwayFunding #BipartisanCollaboration

Remember those days when planning a road trip meant printing out pages and pages of MapQuest directions? Nothing said adventure quite like a stack of paper, a highlighter, and hoping you didn’t miss that left turn on the third street after the gas station. ?? And of course, a trusty co-pilot was a must! They’d be balancing the directions on their lap, frantically trying to figure out if we were “0.5 miles from the exit” or “0.5 miles past it.” Ah, the MapQuest days—where the journey was sometimes just as confusing as the destination! Who else remembers those paper-filled road trips?
