Thank you to the all the bus operators who are out driving and away from their families this morning, keeping the world running while others are celebrating.

Rail transit projects that run primarily at-grade take about 6 months longer to build in the United States than abroad. 🗓️ Projects that are primarily tunneled take over a year and a half longer to construct. #EnoTransitCost

Today, we opened applications for a new program to bring made-in-America EV chargers into the communities where people live, work, worship, study, shop and more – making the transition to electric more equitable and accessible for all Americans.

Electric buses mean cleaner air and a healthier future for all. They also mean jobs.
In the last 6 months, we’ve created more than 100,000 clean energy jobs by investing in climate solutions like the electric buses I toured today in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
