Transportation Sec Pete Bootyjuice Begs For More Of Your Money.

“We’re constantly reminded of the importance of transportation safety. The country watched in shock as a cargo ship struck and destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, taking six lives and closing a vital port,” said Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg. He appeared before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development to testify on the president’s 2025 budget request. He also said his department was working as quickly as possible to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge. Sec. Buttigieg also answered questions on a variety of topics, including aviation investment, air traffic controller recruitment, Boeing safety concerns, railway infrastructure, pedestrian and roadway safety, and tribal community transportation funding.
