    Congrats, Mayor Pete! I’m happy to see a mayor who understands what local communities need to meet the twin goals of inclusive economic growth and rebuilding our infrastructure and transportation.

    This is a moment of tremendous opportunity—to create jobs, meet the climate challenge, and enhance equity for all. I'm honored that the President-elect has asked me to serve our nation as Secretary of Transportation.
