View Photo »We always have to do better
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood has a once again demonstrated a strong understanding of the magnitude of the disaster that has struck Vermont and the need for timely federal help. I appreciate that very much
Communities suffering from disasters have been hard at work restoring vital transportation links so that people can resume daily activities as soon as possible ... They did their part, and now it’s our turn to give the states the money they were promised to help pay for that work.
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
It’s disappointing that some in Congress haven’t been willing to do the same. Because the supercommittee failed to reach an agreement, we now face across-the-board cuts to programs that are critical to rebuilding our crumbling transportation infrastructure and putting Americans back to work.
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
When drivers of large trucks, buses and hazardous materials take their eyes off the road for even a few seconds, the outcome can be deadly ... I hope that this rule will save lives by helping commercial drivers stay laser-focused on safety at all times while behind the wheel.
