, requiring the secretary of transportation to submit a report to congress on the disadvantage enterprise program and ensuring underserved communities are in the programs. these are some of the highlights and i thank my colleagues for offering amendments to improve the surface transportation porgs of the invest in america act. and i urge adoption of the amendment. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from louisiana is recognized. >> i yield myself such time as i may consume. i want to repeat what the gentleman from pennsylvania said this olympic of amendments consist of 42 amendments, 42 amendments. so all the americans that are at home right now, your member of congress that you elected to come up here to influence and fix the crisis we have in transportation and traffic right now, you get the choice to either support or oppose 42 amendments, some of which may be good or some of which may be awful. this is what democracy looks like right now under this democrat majority wher

to begin addressing the challenges of transportation systems in the 21st century. host:, as a democrat in duluth, minnesota. welcome to the conversation. caller: good morning and thank you for listening to me. i have some concerns about the roads and bridges and stuff in my state. we have had a major bridge collapsed, killing people and it seems to be forgotten here. our roads are in bad shape, our bridges are in bad shape, minnesotans are getting hurt and no one seems to be taking this seriously. host: congressman? guest: thank you for your comment. yes, it has not been that long since we had tha catastrophe of the bridge in minnesota falling before our very eyes, causing several deaths. that is why we need to invest in that type of infrastructure, but at the same time, we need to be cognizant of the types of materials that we will be using. we need to ensure that there will be less carbon emitted into the atmosphere and that is what this bill seeks to do. it would provide guidance and requirements for a state to begin tracking greenhouse emissions in their states

it also would require the secretary of transportation. this will give them more authority and continue that forward. there were a couple items in the state budget between the two houses that i'd like to highlight. first for the secretary's office there was a billion dollars proposal by the governor for l.a. olympics transit projects. but in addition for the rest of the state, there was another billion dollars for priority transit. those will be competitive grant programs administered as it's intended by the governor would be administered by the secretary's office. i'm not sure where the legislation's going to land on the tekt cal aspect of who makes the awards, but i think that's good news for the state having additional transit capital provided for competitive grants. in addition highway projects did receive $2 billion in essence, this would be for road maintenance and continue the theme of sb1. so between the state road maintenance highway program and local road programs funding in the amount of $2 billion. most of it is reallocated inte

of course, there is the piece that the department of transportation has which is traditionally to makehe infrastructure is safe. now it's increasingly clear that includes not just the physical means of safety but resilient infrastructure in the face of mounting cyber threats. i think you will see us raise the bar in terms of expectations working with state and local partners, private sector partners to make sure that we have harder targets because having a crack in your cyber security can be just as damaging to the country as a physical crack in a piece of steel like what i saw in memphis yesterday at a bridge. >> you talked about having potentially harder targets and the idea of resiliency. as it relates to infrastructure, at this point private what ens and i know the executive order discusses this but other companies aren't required to tell you when something happened. does that need to change? will it? do you think that's a critical step to be useful looking to as you say harden up the infrastructure? >> yeah. it is clear by now we don't have the tools that are going to be needed as

the department for transport has previously said it estimates the air transport industry will receivee air. caroline davies, bbc news. in a week's time, minsters must decide whether to press ahead with the final stage of covid unlocking in england. the decision on whether or not to continue with masks and social distancing has been complicated by the rapid spread of the new delta variant, first found in india, and there is division among scientists about the way ahead. here's our health correspondent anna collinson. 0ften 0fte n large 0ften large occasions with many guests, weddings during the pandemic had to be more restrained. injust two weeks' time, restrictions on life events like these are due to be lifted, but with increasing coronavirus cases, the 21 june vow might be broken. the number of people admitted to hospital with the delta variant is rising, though it is said not significantly, scientists warn the more opportunity the virus has to spread, the more likely for new variants to arise. there are calls for a short delay. we want this to be the last lockdown we ever going to

part in the future of autonomous, sustainable and connected transport. d in a city where the first ever british car was manufactured, research has moved to the next evolution of the automobile — the autonomous vehicle. for a few years now, we've been told that driverless cars are just around the corner. and on this programme, we've taken a few for a spin. but before they can truly become a reality, we need to know that we can trust them just as much, if not more, than a human driver. and if this driverless world comes about, it will be transformative — not just for the drivers, but also for the cities, so we may need to rethink some of the basics. we're used to a lot of congestion on our roads but it seems here like this model of autonomous vehicles seems to actually overcome some of that congestion. so we know that people spend a lot of time driving around cities, creating congestion, looking for a parking space. with fully autonomous parking, you need fewer spaces. so that will reduce the requirement in infrastructure and in cities for the real estate n

it is the secretary of transportation, pete buttigieg. good morning, mr. secretary. is good tob to be in your company. let's start with this infrastructure bill. where does things stand? the president has been negotiating wit with the republicans. where do things stander? >> on friday, there was another counteroffer by the republicans, about $50 million in movement, but did not meet the president's objectives for what we need to do. it is not just about getting through this season or some kind of short-term stimulus. it is about making sure that america wins the future at a time when our competitors, like china and our allies, are investing much more, frankly in infrastructure than we are. that's why it calls for such a big step. the president will speak again with senator capado, who has been a leader on the republican side. they'll speak on monday. and over on the house side on wednesday, there will be a markup for a key element of infrastructure policy. so lots going on right now. but still lots of daylight, honestly, between us and our republican friends. >> dick

part in the future of autonomous, sustainable and connected transport. the first ever british car was for a few years now, we've been told that driverless cars are just around the corner. and on this programme, we've taken a few for a spin. but before they can truly become a reality, we need to know that we can trust them just as much, if not more, than a human driver. and if this driverless world comes about, it will be transformative — not just for the drivers, but also for the cities, so we may need to rethink some of the basics. we're used to a lot of congestion on our roads but it seems here like this model of autonomous vehicles seems to actually overcome some of that congestion. so we know that people spend a lot of time driving around cities, creating congestion, looking for a parking space. with fully autonomous parking, you need fewer spaces. so that will reduce the requirement in infrastructure and in cities for the real estate needed for parking solutions. the vehicle will literally drive itself into a car park, find its spot, recognise the wh

15 years, and there has been discussion that middle-class families would pay a price to fund the transportation and infrastructure programs. guest: what is interesting about some of the plants the president has outlined, which are plans, they are heavily dependent on tax reform, raising taxes, tax increases in order to pay it. what is interesting about what secretary buttigieg said was that these plans would be paid for within 15 years. normally you are operating within a 10 year budget window, so a 15 euro -- a 15 year window is interesting. it's not just how these things are scored. there has been discussion about -- for example, the president's proposed corporate tax rate, wanting to increase that to 28%. a lot of democrats are not comfortable with that. the white house has shown an openness to may be moving somewhere on that figure. that is the state of infrastructure talks. essentially what this budget does is it gives democrats the go ahead to use what is called the budget reconciliation progress -- process to pass these plans without republican support. unlike what we saw with pandemic a

they are looking for multiple paths whether it is a bipartisan deal or the reconciliation or the transportation deals coming out of the relevant committees of the house and the senate, and to torture the metaphor that i have heard you say multiple roads to the chosen destination, it is not clear from where i am sitting that it is known yet which path is the most successful one. >> yes, that is right, geoff, and the white house press secretary jen psaki who is finishing up the briefing reiterating the urgency of the moment that the time line is not weeks, but days. and another official told me that the week of the gps needs to tell them which route to take or the destination. the president has made it clear he wants a bipartisan deal if at all possible. so two ways of looking at the delay of getting the framework put forward today. the optimists, and the president has admonished us for being negative, so start with the optimistic view is that when you have to president back now, fully engaged with the process, and the focus was overseas for much of the tripsh and now that he is looking at the fi
