We are leaving America's transportation systems in much better condition than we found them. I'm proud of all we have done together, and it has been an enormous honor to serve as your Secretary of Transportation.

As my time as Secretary of Transportation concludes, I’m proud of all we’ve accomplished: tens of thousands of infrastructure projects, millions of manufacturing and construction jobs, & stronger, more resilient communities across America. Thank you for this opportunity to serve.

When we took office, roadway deaths had been going in the wrong direction for years and spiked during the pandemic. In December, we announced the 10th straight quarter of roadway deaths going down—steady progress that must continue.

The I-5 bridge is a key piece of infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest over the Columbia River. But the bridge sees daily back-ups and wouldn't withstand a big earthquake. Now, through President Biden's infrastructure plan, a new bridge will finally take its place.

When I became mayor in South Bend, they told us the building trades and manufacturing jobs were gone for good. Today, years of hard work at the local level, combined with a national industrial strategy, have delivered levels of growth that I didn't dare dream of before.
