Matt Vanover Quotations

We are all for community air service. However, we do not provide operating subsidies. Our funding is for construction activities.

We made a mistake. We regret the mistake and apologize if anyone called that number and got information other than what they were seeking.

It is not expected that anyone would miss work because of the damage.

We hope to begin the program soon. We have been doing it on a limited basis, and it's been successful.

We have them and will be training with them now. We expect to begin using them at the beginning of this construction season.

We apologize to anyone who may have called that number and did not get the information that they were looking for.

This would be an important economic development tool for the state and allow us to expand at a much more rapid pace while providing for economic development as well.

We wanted to put together something that would be used by the general public, but would be used by IDOT personnel or other transportation personnel, as well.

We already have the Getting Around Illinois Web site, which is a one-stop destination for travelers. We want to expand this by installing kiosks and making usage as easy as possible.

We will provide info about people's daily commutes that will allow them to make informed decisions about that commute.

There is significant water damage to offices on the third floor.

These are the same dollars used for health care, public safety and education. We would need to know where the funding would come from.

This is an evolving site. We are going to continue to tweak it. We would hope to be able to include that type of travel time information.

It was a mistake that we made, and we apologize for anyone who called that number and got information that they weren't looking for.

That is our eventual goal: To bring that real-time data onto this type of Web site. That is still a ways down the road.

It seemed like a great fit for a conference like this. It was the largest turnout we ever had.

Any time there are questions about contracts or the integrity of our procurement processes, we investigate and we'll cooperate fully in any outside investigation.

It has not been a priority. Helping other communities rebuild, get their stuff cleaned up, and also getting the roads in good shape - that has been the priority. Not to mention we had a blizzard in between.

The department's stance is still that we would prefer to finance it through conventional means.
