Thank you for your consideration.

The Biden-Harris administration's DOT has wielded an even heavier hand than the Obama administration did.

We keep saying we have this driver shortage that we don't have. We have a training shortage, we have a parking shortage, we have a pay shortage.

I think my drivers would like to start seeing commonsense regulation that is coming from experienced truckers.

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas went so far as to vacate the rule.

Two federal courts issued opinions earlier this year finding the rule exceeds the administration's statutory authority.

As I have said many times in this subcommittee, this policy was considered and disposed of during negotiations of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The Federal Highway Administration continues to pursue its final rule to force a greenhouse gas performance measure on State departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations, despite lacking the statutory authority to…

Thank you for your consideration of an issue vital to safety and for continuing to take steps toward reducing fatalities on our nation's roadways.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was subsequently signed into law in November 2021.

COVID had a huge impact on transit services, accelerating what were already declining ridership rates.

Transit agencies provide transportation services in nearly every community across this country--big, small, rural, and urban.

Attempts to force U.S. economic sectors such as trucking into manipulated electrification risk sparking a debilitating crisis of wholesale electricity shortages, unreliable private and commercial transportation, and countless EVs without…

Congress should reject exorbitantly costly, unrealistic mandates to replace fossil fuels and to force foreclosing nearly every other fuel source except for unreliable 'green' ones--all driven by government diktat rather than free-market…

The Biden administration's pie-in-the-sky initiatives pushing all-electrification of American transportation, including large trucks.

The President campaigned on a pie in the sky goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Sadly, the Biden Administration doesn't seem to share this view.

The President campaigned on a pie-in-the-sky goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

I believe in consumer choice, the choice to decide where you want to go and how you want to get there.
