So wonderful to join @aarp and share work that communities are doing with @USDOT funding provided by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Learn more at transportation.gov/dot-navig…
Great quote from @MZStrat... Building transportation projects that are more than just #mobility. They’re really about #accessibility. And that interconnectedness of how a transportation project can be fundamental to the economic development future + to the community development.

Thank you @MZStrat and @CoraletteHannon for joining us and, most importantly, inspiring us as we think about how to create more safe, accessible transportation options for older adults and people of all ages!

Loving that @MZStrat is sharing info on federal investments in transportation - hearing that our leaders are looking at keeping people safe, ensuring that all of us can benefit from transportation investments, and address challenges from the past that impact people today is inspiring! #DesigningforAll
On this Indigenous People's Day, reflecting on the incredible work Tribal leaders are undertaking to ensure future generations can thrive. @USDOT is supporting some of this work through our TCP program and with BIL investments to over 500 Tribal projects. transportation.gov/grants/th…
It's been a fantastic first day for @USDOT #ThrivingCommunities symposium. Representatives from 112 communities here to learn from one another, connect with federal staff and advance transportation projects critical to their towns, villages, cities and states.

The odds of your child getting kidnapped are about 1 in a million.
The odds of a person born in 2021 dying in a traffic crash are about 1 in 93.
American parents act like these stats are reversed. They're paranoid about the rare kidnapping but naive about the common drive.
Appreciate leadership by the White House to ensure a whole of government to helping low capacity and smaller communities access historic federal funding. @WhiteHouse #NEC joined today with @USDOT Thriving Communities team

Sadly, 18 children have died this year after being left or becoming trapped in a hot car – with 13 deaths in July alone.
As we begin August, SHARE 📲 this urgent message:

Great to be here in Greenville SC for @NADOWeb transportation conference. Amazing early example of environmental, economic and social benefits we create when Reconnecting Communities. Where we are standing used to be a freeway. @USDOT
Last soccer game. I'm not worthy of the soccer mom label but still feeling emotional. Been watching my sweet boy play since 2010. @weblawlib @DSFAthletics Go Mavs!
My favorite way to celebrate #InfrastructureWeek: gathering with some of the incredible @USDOT staff today at the White House to recognize the incredible accomplishments of so many public servants to stand up dozens of new programs, & award grants to 50,000+ projects. @POTUS
Last band concert for this proud @BandsDsf parent. Thanks Mr Blankenship for some incredible memories and music made by our kids. Thanks @kakeescookies and Booster parents. And thx @HenricoSchools + @DSFMrMarshall for supporting the arts!!
