This DOT, under the leadership of Secretary Buttigieg, is implementing policies to make our transportation systems cleaner, greener, safer and more accessible.
While Congress writes the laws, federal agencies turn these legislative proposals into rules of the road that can be followed and enforced.
I encourage all my colleagues to visit the Coast Guard, get out on the water, get up in the air with them, as I did in Pensacola, to truly see the value that they provide to our country.
As more is uncovered, it falls on Congress to support the FAA and NTSB in their ongoing investigations.
