As an advocate for Mililani, Representative Lee knows that traffic congestion and time spent commuting are major irritants to residents. Marilyn believes that more accessible public transportation, the creation of jobs in close proximity of residential areas, and an emphasis on walking and biking where possible would help ease congestion. In addition, Marilyn supports an additional exit from the mauka side to the H-2 freeway.  This exit has received planning monies.
