Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure

Natural disasters are more severe and frequent thanks to climate change, and we need @FEMA to be stronger than ever. Unfortunately, @Sec_Noem and the Trump Administration are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. T&I Dems read a few before tomorrow’s hearing:

Congress passed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 to help alleviate the supply chain crisis and ensure fair ocean shipping practices. Learn more about the success of this law: youtube.com/watch?v=vOssXJ…

Last month, Ranking Members @RepRickLarsen and @RepGregStanton explained how the Trump Administration is dismantling @FEMA’s ability to prepare for and react to future disasters—putting American communities in need at risk. Read it below: thehill.com/opinion/white-…

Democrats and Republicans on this Committee agree that FEMA is in need of reform. Today, @TransportDems and @TransportGOP released the FEMA Act of 2025 to improve the agency’s ability to help communities before and after disaster strikes. democrats-transportation.house.gov/news/press-rel…

RM @RepGregStanton: Your lack of visibility after this horrific flood is shocking. Acting Administrator Richardson: I was in constant communication. Stanton: You were nowhere near Texas at critical moments of search and rescue, and you didn't even show your face for a week.

Ranking Member @RepRickLarsen on the importance of FEMA: “The recent tragedy in Texas was a devastating reminder that disaster preparation and response is a life or death matter.”

Trump Administration cuts to FEMA weakened the agency—making it harder to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Today, @TransportDems will hold Acting Administrator David Richardson accountable for the Agency’s failures. youtube.com/live/2xu8873Or…

A story in three parts:

The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024: ✅Enhances air traffic control systems ✅Deploys Runway safety projects ✅Expands the aviation talent pipeline The Trump Administration must fully implement the law.

Yet again, the Trump Administration and GOP are making it easier for polluters to get away with their dirty water agenda. @TransportDems are working to hold polluters accountable. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eenews…

I’m headed to the @TransportDems hearing – Sec. Duffy is testifying for the first time and I’ve got some tough questions ready. I’m asking about the future of the DBE program that so many minority- and women-owned businesses rely on, and pushing back on cuts that hurt cities…

At today’s @TransportDems hearing, I spoke with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy about the importance of robust EV federal subsidies & charging infrastructure so Americans feel empowered to choose these cost-effective, environmentally friendly cars. As the Trump Administration…

Talking on Fox News is a lot different from legislating. Secretary Duffy should use his new platform to push Congress to take action on rail safety legislation.

While Europe and Asia build High Speed Rail, the Trump Administration is busy canceling thousands of already-approved grants for communities across America to improve their transportation infrastructure. How will this improve American transportation? youtube.com/watch?v=Gn23BQ…

Instead of building on the historic transportation investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Trump Administration is holding transportation funding hostage. Today, @TransportDems will hold @SecDuffy accountable. youtube.com/watch?v=Gn23BQ…

Today, @TransportDems will hold a markup for the bipartisan Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025. Stay tuned to follow along. youtube.com/watch?v=Xt3ooV…

Wishing a happy birthday to @TransportDems member @RepDeluzio🎂🎉.

Wishing a happy birthday to @TransportDems member @Repkmr🎂🎉.

For years, @FEMA’s door-to-door outreach program helped thousands of disaster survivors get housing assistance. The Trump Administration canceled that program and has informed @TransportDems they will not provide door-to-door assistance to disaster victims in Texas. This…

I joined Ranking Members @RepZoeLofgren and @RepRickLarsen and @RepGregStanton to demand answers about how Trump's @NWS and @fema prepared for and responded to the tragic floods.   This tragic disaster underscores the urgent need to examine response at all levels of government to…
