This DOT, under the leadership of Secretary Buttigieg, is implementing policies to make our transportation systems cleaner, greener, safer and more accessible.
Everyone is for roadway safety--I don't question that at all--but it does seem you are making somewhat of a case, if we just leave it to formula grants only, there is no guarantee investment will be made in roadway safety as opposed to if we had the competitive grants for roadway safety, we could better encourage the national policy in investment and infrastructure that actually takes into account safety.
I also want to commend you, Chairman Nehls, on setting a date for a rail safety hearing.
Don was a leader on the PIPES Act of 2023 that our Committee voted unanimously to advance in December.
