Our high-speed rail future is underway. Once completed, the Brightline West project will cut travel time between Las Vegas, NV, and Rancho Cucamonga, CA in half, to just over 2 hours on new high-speed rail versus by car. This is the future of passenger rail in America.

After the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, President Biden said we'd do whatever it takes. We made it a mission to reopen the port and we did—in less than 100 days. We will continue to work to rebuild the bridge and make the city stronger than ever.

It's been six months since a shipping vessel struck and destroyed the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Since then, we have used every tool of the federal government to support the Baltimore community and reopen the Port of Baltimore.

When we took office, only 5% of railroad workers had access to paid sick leave. We supported workers' efforts to change that, and now it's 90%—it should be 100%. @ActSecJulieSu & I are calling on the railroads to provide this benefit to all workers who still lack access.

Increasingly severe storms, record-breaking heat, coastal erosion…. climate change is affecting transportation now, whether everyone admits it or not. We're planning infrastructure that reduces emissions from the transportation sector and is more resilient.

Good news for anyone whose job or travel takes them outside the U.S. This week, the @StateDept made it possible for Americans to renew their passport online, an easier, streamlined way to get what you need before a trip.

We're investing in communities of all sizes through President Biden's infrastructure law. In Green River, UT the population is a little under 1,000 and growing. We're supporting plans for a new road with updated lighting, utilities, and signage to accommodate growth.
