The amendment would prevent the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration from applying the most comprehensive and up-to-date data and analysis to the issue of driver fatigue and allowable hours of service
Small businesses create 2 out of every 3 jobs in America ... They are the place where the jobs are. Now I don't know exactly how many people are employed here at peoria camera but they've been in business 75 years. Think of all the people that they've provided jobs for over that 75-year period.
Consumers have a right to know the full price they will be paying when they buy an airline ticket ... We expect airlines to treat their passengers fairly, and we will take enforcement action when they violate our price advertising rules.
By opening the door to long-haul trucking between the United States and Mexico, America's third-largest trading partner, we will create jobs and opportunity for our people and support economic development in both nations

We now face across-the-board cuts to programs that are critical to rebuilding our crumbling transportation infrastructure and putting Americans back to work

We strongly urge the Department of Transportation to closely examine Los Angeles World Airport’s governance of Ontario International Airport ... Without action, we are precariously close to losing the airport, a vital component to the economic health of San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
but the dramatic rise cannot be explained away that easily. Portable laser pointing devices are less expensive, more powerful, and more readily available than ever. And people seem unable to resist the very dangerous temptation to shine them at aircraft.
That's one of the reasons why Chattanooga was awarded this grant ... What we learn in Chattanooga will be distributed to transit agencies across the nation.
These grants will put thousands of Americans back to work building sustainable, energy-efficient transit vehicles and facilities across the country ... The Obama Administration is committed to investing in the cutting-edge transportation projects that will keep our economy moving forward.

We expect this program will not only save consumers money, it will ensure automakers have the regulatory certainty they need to make key decisions
It means American families can fill up their cars every two weeks instead of every week
I don't think they would have done that if they didn't think they could make this happen
The tremendous demand for TIGER grants clearly shows that communities across the country cannot wait any longer for crucial upgrades to the roads, bridges, rail lines, and bus routes they rely on every day ... It's important to make these vital investments in transportation so we can put Americans back ...
We expect this program will not only save consumers money, it will ensure automakers have the regulatory certainty they need to make key decisions that create jobs and invest in the future
We expect this programme will not only save consumers money, but ensure automakers have the regulatory certainty they need to make key decisions
