Dive Brief:
Industry and elected leaders praised Pete Buttigieg s confirmation as Transportation Secretary after his nomination passed the U.S. Senate 86-13 on Tuesday.
Buttigieg s confirmation could be a boon for investment in the nation’s infrastructure, which has been called for on a bipartisan basis for many years, according to experts.
Several officials emphasized how Buttigieg s experience as mayor of South Bend, IN, will stand him in good stead at the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), especially as he knows the challenges local leaders face. City leaders know these critical issues best, Los Angeles City Council President Pro Tempore Joe Buscaino said. They know what s happening on the ground, and the work of Secretary Buttigieg reflects better the priorities of city leaders across this country.
