at its best, transportation makes the american dream possible. getting people and goods to where they need to be. directly and indirectly creating good-paying jobs. at its worst, misguided policies and missed opportunities can reinforce racial, economic, and environmental injustice, dividing our isolating neighborhoods, undermining government's basic role, to empower everyone to thrive. and now comes a historic opportunity. this administration can deliver policies and resources that will create jobs, rise to the climate challenge, and equitably serve all americans, all while continuing to ensure the safety of travelers and workers alike. america has given this administration a mandate to build back better, and step one in building back better, literally, is to build. americans shouldn't settle for less than our peers in the developed world when it comes to our roads and bridges and railways and transit systems. the u.s. should lead the way, and i know in this administration we will. we'll bring together leaders and communities from every corner,

we don't transport that. that is being transported throughout partners here, the other test fires as well as under the jurisdiction of operation warp speed. when the ball comes to us and all of it is present and our supervision comes in and we work with the hospitals and the pharmaceutical partners to administer the vaccine. all of that was related to operation warp speed about the challenges some of the states had. hopefully those difficulties will be ironed out and everything will arrive at the correct time next week when the pfizer product will ship. mr. smith or mr. wheeler, is fedex or ups whining to be involved in the shipping of the supply kits? how are you ensuring those shipments are timed to arrive with the doses? this week, they said they built 150 million test kits already. they stopped 5 -- they stockpiled the supplies. that has the ppe, the instructions to the dosing site, the nixing vials as well. all that is ready to go. ups will be supplying 100% of the kits to the country. fedex and ups will

department of transportation guidance for transportation infrastructure procurements of this type. next slide, please, eusenia. one element i also want to highlight from anna's comments is the reimbursement of local business enterprise design firms. that was a requirement of the r.f.q. and will be a continuing requirement in future phases of the project which would be a requirement in san francisco. these large firms, they have the ability to invest funds at risk in many of these processes, however, many of the contractors and subs that support them don't have that capability, and especially the l.b.e., the local business enterprise firms, so part of the reimbursement benefit agreement is to prioritize the -- the payment for those firms. the next slide, eusenia. i also want to highlight precedents that we were asked to put forward. this is just an example of a larger number in california, some bigger and some somewhat smaller than this one, although you can see there's precedents around the country, as well. you can see the reimbursement payments in these, from 500,000 to $2 millio

i've had a personal love of transportation. more than once as a college student i would convince a friend to travel nearly 1,000 miles back to indiana with me on amtrak. though i know he that in this administration i will at best aspire to be the second biggest train enthusiast around. i spent a spring break in graduate school aboard a car go ship studying there. travel is synonymous with growth, with adventure, everyone love. so much so that i proposed to my husband in an airport terminal. don't let anybody tell you that o'hare isn't roman take. and i want to take this moment to thank skrchchastin for all h gives. when i first took office as mayor, in a city fighting out of recession, infrastructure was at the heart of our vision. we reimagined how vehicles and people move through the city, unlocking new economic vibrancy in our urban core. we built up partnerships to improve rail service to public/private partnership that put our city at the cutting edge of bicycle mobility. we developed new you forms of support for lower wag

the transport crisis at dover is getting worse.here are now almost 3,000 lorries stuck in kent, waiting for the green light to cross the english channel to france. talks between the uk and france on reopening the border have restarted in the past hour. france stopped the crossings on sunday because of the rapid spread throughout the uk of a new variant of coronavirus. any solution is likely to include mass testing for lorry drivers. almost every eu state has now stopped travel from the uk, despite the eu's appeal for restrictions to be lifted, and worldwide, more than 50 countries have banned flights from british airports. for the latest, let's join our transport correspondent caroline davies in dover. first, this from theo leggett. seemingly endless queues of pop top lorry stretching for miles along the m20 this morning. there's simply nowhere for them to go. the french border remains closed. the eurotunnel terminal is shot and deserted, and in dover, some traffic was coming in on ferries from france, but nothing was going the oth
