I’ll work with anyone who is serious about increasing accountability and safety for freight railroads. The rest is just politics.

Proud of all that we have been able to accomplish through hard work in 2024.

That’s a wrap on a great trip to the LA/TX Gulf Coast today! Happy to take up a few questions….

Our proposed rule would end family seating junk fees. If you’re flying with your child, you should be able to sit next to them and with no extra fees attached. It’s common sense.

We're making historic investments to improve the New York City subway system as part of the Biden-Harris Investing in America agenda.

Flight crews work 24/7 on behalf of passengers—they deserve our respect and full cooperation as they take us to our next destination safely. We have zero tolerance for those who act out on airplanes and endanger others, and will continue to make criminal referrals as needed.

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for the millions of transportation workers who keep America and our economy moving every day. Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday with loved ones.

Kids are heading back to school; remember to be cautious in school zones. Slow down and watch for students playing near bus stops and crossing the street.

Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

Today, our ports are open. Dockworkers are poised for a record hourly wage increase, and critical supplies can keep moving in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The agreement that made this possible demonstrates the power and importance of collective bargaining in America.

I'm confident that a century from now, future Americans will look back on the work we’ve done—much as we look at the Hoover Dam—and see how the Biden-Harris Administration's "Big Deal" for infrastructure made big things possible.

Our department will continue to support the traveling public. If your Southwest flight was delayed or canceled, and you are denied compensation for flights not taken or expenses like meals, hotels, and ground transport, please submit a complaint to DOT ➡️

Children born today in America will not know an America without high-speed passenger rail—thanks to the investments we're making here in the 2020s.

Southwest passengers have experienced unacceptable disruptions and customer service conditions. I have made clear to their executives that our department will hold Southwest accountable for making things right with their customers and employees.

In the last 10 years, foreign-owned ocean carriers’ profits rose 350% or more, but port worker wages only increased about 15%. We've urged both parties to come to the table and for USMX to present an offer that lets workers participate in these astronomical profits.

President Biden took office and immediately faced America's worst economic crisis in almost a century. Experts expected a recession. Instead, today the economy is growing, inflation and interest rates are falling, and the job market remains strong.

Some of the most interesting projects you may not have heard about are our investments in crash prevention via wildlife crossings.

This administration has created more jobs and opportunities than under any presidency in my lifetime. From infrastructure and clean energy to manufacturing, we're revitalizing communities across America.

Touring the site of what will be one of the biggest EV battery factories in the world - right here in De Soto, Kansas. President Donald J. Trump said he's bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US. Now, we're seeing that promise being delivered.

We're making historic investments in accessibility to ensure everyone can get where they need to go. As we cheer on our Paralympians in Paris, let's continue to improve transportation at home so that all Americans can navigate our communities. Go, Team USA!

One of the best parts of my job is meeting people who will be delivering the infrastructure projects we're funding. I met Jordan in Washington state, where we're helping replace the I-5 bridge. Like many veterans, he found his way to a union &amp; civilian work that changed his life.

Two years and 40,000 projects later—we're just getting started.

American aviation is the safest in the world because we never take it for granted and we always keep working to improve it for the future.

If you're taking a flight this Thanksgiving, here are a few things you should know.

Let's be clear about who passed the largest infrastructure package in history.

President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—signed into law three years ago today—is historic in its proportions. It has set into motion a generation’s worth of infrastructure projects and good-paying careers in every state in the country. It’s the Big Deal.

Philadelphia’s Chinatown has been the heartbeat of the Asian American community here for 150 years—but was physically divided by construction of the Vine Street Expressway. We are helping empower and reconnect this community with a highway cap and a public park.
