In a speech less than two weeks ago, you outlined your priorities for the Department of Transportation.
First, safety.
Second, rebuilding and refurbishing our country’s infrastructure.
Third, preparing for the future.
If a budget reflects values, it seems the Trump Administration does not actually share these priorities.
This morning we will examine the FY 2020 budget request for the Department of Transportation. Secretary Chao, welcome back and thank you for joining us today.
Repairing and improving our infrastructure remains one of the top challenges facing our nation. Our economy, quality of life, and international competitiveness depend upon robust transportation networks that can accommodate the movement of people and goods.
"Mr. Secretary, your budget is very similar to last year’s request, which this Committee rejected on a bipartisan basis. This year, your proposal contains even deeper cuts and would greatly reduce public housing and end most community development grants. It would lead to more people struggling to find affordable housing, and more people falling into homelessness."
"Unfortunately, this budget proposal would make our affordable housing crisis even worse, and it would relegate these vulnerable populations to an even more tenuous and marginalized existence within our society."
