Secretary Buttigieg visited CMU today. I got to thank him for speaking at our White House ARPA-I Summit in 2023, but more importantly for all the work he’s led on climate & equity at DOT. A really phenomenal Secretary of Transportation.

Agree both have made a significant impact!
While both faced unique challenges, Buttigieg's focus has been on modernizing infrastructure and addressing climate change, whereas Minetta's tenure was characterized by a response to heightened security concerns following 9/11.
I love Pete but had really hoped he’d have funded 7 badly needed Metrolink replacement locomotives. Upgrades from Tier 2 to cleanest available Tier 4. We have been on his desk for 4 rounds of RAISE but because heavy rail is still diesel we don’t make the cut. Regional rail in SoCal is threatened.
I mean, my area doesn't even qualify for federal dollars often because we don't make the state/local match, even with a rare Dem trifecta. But that also means I take my wins where I can get them, I guess.
Totally. I get it. I was thrilled the USDOT pushed all that money out the door! This round was our last hope. Though I joke that maybe because they use diesel we could get support letters from Iowa ethanol lobby. Lol.
I wish I had known he was coming i would have gone to see him. A great guy and we will miss him and all of our great president's cabinet members in 10 days when the swamp team cabinet members take over.
He is extremely brilliant. I hope we will see a lot more from him in the future. I am proud of all that was accomplished over the past 4 years. I will miss the calmness of our current administration. 😔
And now, you’re about to get this. “Prior to joining Fox News, Duffy was a CNN political commentator. He also joined lobbying firm BGR Group – which has represented clients in defense services, automotive and air transport industries...”

His continual engagement, vision and optimism in action will be very much missed
❤️🇨🇦
He will be missed.
And he could win the election. If he spoke in smaller words. And lied. And married a woman.
Half of this country is why we can't have nice things.
