Somebody help me out here, but isn't investing in transportation infrastructure a little out of their jurisdiction?
Within City Limits = municipal.
Outside City limits = provincial.
Transportation standards = federal

They are still sneaky fucks. Seems like a smart investment on their part though, invest some money to help make roads safer so there are less accidents to pay for. Even if it does cost more than they expect 18 million is just a fraction of their 24.5 billion(2009 profit). Seriously how many companys are making money off of pretty much everyone in an enitre province? They better not invest too much though, they wont ever put themselves out of work but they could really cut into their profit.
