The Points Guy: Pete Buttigieg’s Bold action on travel, climate and infrastructure is underway
Buttigieg said, “the transportation sector, in particular, has been decimated by the effects of the pandemic, and millions of jobs are at stake. Our livelihoods are at stake, and even if you don’t work in the transportation sector, chances are you rely on transit or something else adjacent to it for your well-being. The president is acting swiftly to make sure that we have the resources to restore and build back this important sector.”
Buttigieg is taking a much different approach to transportation than the last person to hold the role and that includes an emphasis on eliminating carbon emissions and adding electric charging stations across the country.
