To those youth who wonder whether they belong and especially to those for whom doubt or fear or danger mean you still can't live fully as your true self, know that a whole lot of us have your back, starting at the top.

If we're factoring in the full cost of the toxicity and the emissions of a lot of the fuels we depend on now, then apples to apples, we're already there in terms of the benefits of more renewable sources of energy.

the Department of Transportation plays a crucial role in maintaining and upgrading the infrastructure that powers our economy and keeps us moving.

I think that the sooner the U.S. can get to zero emissions in any given industry, the better off the world and the U.S. are going to be.

If we want to grow our economy, remain competitive, and address the climate crisis, we need to take swift and bold action.

There is absolutely no excuse for unruly behavior, mistreatment, or abuse toward flight crews.

It is certainly our intent to make sure that rural communities no less than urban benefit from the RAISE Program.

President Biden's first fiscal year 2022 budget request to Congress reflects that urgent need, as well as our values and priorities.

I cannot emphasize enough how seriously we take unruly behavior, and with the zero tolerance policy, those who disrupt flight operations or cause harm or are disrespecting and violating laws and regulations face fines of up to $35,000.

I hope we wouldn't lean on it as a crutch to get us out of our obligations to take more immediate steps that we ought to take.

But, as the president so often says, inaction is not an option.

I think what he`s pointing to on the former is their latest proposal gets to the neighborhood of a trillion dollars. That`s a good sign. There`s a lot of -- obviously, a lot depends on the details. And there`s still some daylight between…

Good policy makes good politics? This doesn`t have to be a partisan moment, because the Rescue Plan was such good policy, that members on both sides of the aisle, even those who voted against it, have been talking about the positive…

Absolutely. As we have discussed, both familiar routes and resources in MARTA and new possibilities around bus rapid transit can do a lot to alleviate congestion, expand opportunity, and, of course, that has climate benefits and air…

Thank you. Yes, really looking forward to a chance to see it in person, welcome a chance to connect with your office further on how to encourage development.
