Secretary Mullin's plan to divert international flights is nuts. Last week, the Aviation Subcommittee's Democratic leaders spoke out.

Air Traffic Controllers have incredibly important jobs, which is why T&I Democrats are working to upgrade their technology and grow the workforce. Your biggest worry on a plane should be what movie to watch.

Waterways are critical to the nation’s infrastructure, which is why @transportdems.bsky.social are working on a bipartisan WRDA bill that supports and protects them.

A chaotic, disorganized FEMA can’t deliver the critical care that disaster-stricken communities need. Passing the bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025 will stabilize the agency and improve its ability to help communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters.

Whether you are flying home or to your dream vacation, T&I Dems are working hard to keep our skies safe. Because your only worry should be if you packed enough socks.

May the Fourth Be With You!

The Bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025 deserves its day on the House floor. Passage will help put disaster-affected communities in the driver seat, improve disaster preparation and restore FEMA’s status as an independent, cabinet-level agency.

Air traffic controllers keep our skies safe everyday. T&I Dems continue to support investment in an upgraded ATC system.

After decades of underinvestment in the Coast Guard, Congress needs to build on last year’s funding to help the Coast Guard achieve mission success. Today, T&I Dems will review the Coast Guard’s FY27 Budget Request and push to get Coasties the funding they need. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNo7...

Ahead of the Kennedy Center's two-year closure, Ranking Member @repricklarsen.bsky.social toured the facilities and was updated on the upcoming renovations and needed repairs.

Last week on ATC Day, @transportdems.bsky.social thanked all of the nation's air traffic controllers for their hard work keeping our skies safe. T&I Dems are dedicated to upgrading ATC technology and growing the workforce.

Reminder! In the 2024 FAA Reauthorization, airlines are required to refund you for significant flight delays.

There are so many great books about transportation and infrastructure! What’s your favorite?

This Earth Day, T&I Democrats are doubling down on their commitment to protecting the nation’s waterways and keeping people moving in ways that are green and clean.

Maritime transport creates good-paying jobs and fuels the economy. Investing in ports keeps costs down and helps goods get to their destination on schedule.

Chaos at FEMA is making it harder to help communities prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Congress needs to pass the Bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025 to strengthen the agency.

Clean and clear waterways is what @transportdems.bsky.social fight for every day. T&I Dems are working to pass a WRDA bill that works for everyone.

Americans rely on public transit. That's why @transportdems.bsky.social are committed to investing in the nation's transit systems in the upcoming surface bill. At @apta-info.bsky.social , @repricklarsen.bsky.social doubled down on these commitments.

Today, the House passed the ALERT Act! This brings us one step closer to enacting meaningful aviation safety reforms that prevent future tragedies and keep our skies safe.

The upcoming surface transportation reauthorization must build on the progress and achievements of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

Intercity passenger rail connects communities and grows the economy. Reliable funding is key to its success.

Getting travelers safely to their destinations will always be @transportdems.bsky.social top priority. Nobody should have to worry about their safety before boarding a flight.

APTA is pleased to announce House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Ranking Member, @repricklarsen.bsky.social (D-WA), as a speaker at APTA's 50th Legislative Conference, April 12-14 in Washington, DC. (1/2)

Public transit gets people to work, medical appointments, concerts, sporting events and so much more. The upcoming surface transportation reauthorization should invest in transportation people rely on each day.

Ports are im(port)ant—it’s in the name. International trade, supply chains and small businesses all rely on them. @transportdems.bsky.social are committed to upgrading ports across America.

WRDA 2026 is an opportunity to build on the progress of previous bipartisan water resources bills. As climate change causes more severe disasters, Congress must help improve the resilience of communities’ water infrastructure.

Improving pipeline safety is not an impossible mission. Passing a new PIPES Act will protect communities and help prevent deaths, injuries, methane leaks and other safety risks.

Today might be April Fool’s Day, but @transportdems.bsky.social will always keep it 💯. T&I Dems are always committed to fighting for investment in transportation and infrastructure to increase safety and build resilience across the nation
