Counties will strive to maintain and enhance these partnerships. Goals GG-1: Oppose any shift of state transportation responsibili- ties to counties. oairarararaarar,,f,arariirararararararaararararararaarararararariiararararararil rararararararilrararararararaararararararaararararararaiararararararaiiirararararararaarararararar„ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 1111 r or seigillssuollssummememen bg %J bg cotoolliof10 f
