Statement from U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters on President-Elect Barack Obama’s Selection of U.S. Congressman Ray LaHood to be the Next Secretary of Transportation
“Congressman LaHood’s broad experience and well-known pragmatism make him an
excellent choice to lead and support America’s transportation future. There will
be challenges, but there are also incredible opportunities to continue work to
improve transportation safety, tackle congestion and promote mobility, expand
global transportation opportunities, rebuild transportation systems after
disasters, and continue fundamental transportation reform. I’m confident our
nation’s transportation network will be in good hands under the leadership of
Congressman LaHood.”
