utilize technology, make transportation either passenger transportation or otherwise as safe as it can be. we all know that automation fails. we have seen automation fail. there's been testimony and answers to questions about how safe it is. all we have to do is look back at the 737 max incident where in one fell swoop a computer overrode the decision of a pilot and crash killing several hundred people more than once. i'm not suggesting that's imminent but that type of thing that a human operator would stop and this type of technology working hand in hand with a human operator is an ideal we should be pursuing. thank you. >> thank you. i yield back. >> thank you. i recognize mr. johnson of south dakota. >> thank you. i appreciate it. my conversation will be with mr. marlor. i like the fact you called out the fact it's 19% of our population. it's 68% of our nation's land miles and 45% of our fatal crashes. i care a great deal. i thought about the effectiveness of the automated vehicles depends a lot upon the vehicles. depends a lot on the quality of the roads. you mentioned this automat

the end of the day as much as i love transportation. transportation is a means to an end. it is not in itself. how we get around to our jobs and access opportunity and get the services and go to restaurants. to puppy play. that's the most important thing about transportation element. look how people get around and facilitate their safe and reliable movement for people and goods. for my last slide. the last few years the city stance on issues ruing in commitments and goals that our transportation work needses to address. this includes vision [inaudible] aims torous all traffic dots and severe injuryos san francisco streets. 2021 climate action plans. housing, transportation and energy efficiency to reduce emissions. racial inequity address long standing desparity and each city department set goals how to incorporate in the work. we are aware of the efforts and mick surety transportation element speaks to these goals. now we are in the midst of conducting out reach. we had focus groups and making presentations as this one. after we finish our [inaudible] all the information

the transportation program. they haven't experienced it in years such as west side of san francisco and new areas in the city as well. i would like to take this opportunity to thank cac member rosa for serve serving on the advisory committee and the hard work for putting this plan together. that is my report today. thank you. >> thank you, chair larson. open this up to public comment. >> hello, caller. is this is right time to talk about the expenditure plan or wait until the regular agenda item. >> you should be waiting. >> i will wait. sorry about that. >> thank you so much, caller. there are no other callers. >> we will close public comment on item 3. please call item 4. >> approve the minutes of the february 15, 2022 meeting. this is an action item. >> i do not see any comments from colleagues. >> public item on item 4. >> no public comment. >> is there an motion to approve item 4. >> melgar approve. >> i will second. please call the roll. >> i had advice that i should call the names and say excused if they

and the iowa department of transportation. my main message is to share the critical importance that connected and automated vehicles or cavs, will have on improving the safety, equity, and sustainability of the nation's transportation system. state d.o.t.s are preparing for a future with avs and they are dedicated to supporting the safe deployment of a connected, automated, and cooperative vehicle roadway ecosystem. where benefits extend across modes and throughout all states. one of the key reasons state d.o.t.s are so interested in avs is to improve roadway safety. we have learned that the first nine months of 2021 were deadly on our nation's roads. more than 31,700 people died in traffic crashes. in iowa alone, we lost 354 people to traffic crashes last year. this is entirely unacceptable. as each life lost is one too many. u.s. d.o.t. recently announced the national roadway safety strategy, which includes actions for safer roads and safer vehicles. reduce crashes and save lives. i believe the technologies must be an integr

now as our nation's 19th transportation secretary he will be overseeing a record level of transportation funds as part of the infrastructure package. secretary buttigieg, i know i speak for all of the governors when i say we are looking forward to working with you and is spending these funds wisely and accountable he. also, -- accountability. to lead the discussion will be governor hogan and governor whitmer with the secretary. last may we are thankful to each of you for testifying on behalf of the governors infrastructure priorities for the senate environment and public works committee. the law we have today reflects so many of those advocacy principles and we are grateful for your help shaping the legislation. governor hogan i know this was your initiative when you were chair of the nga and it is appropriate you kick this off. governor whitmer i know infrastructure is pretty important to you as well and you have been an advocate for it in michigan. with that, governor hogan come over to you. governor hogan: thank you, mr. chairman, thank you mr. secretary for joining us. the last time

department of transportation. as we discussed the success story i think it's important to acknowledge the significant role that our committee played in drafting that legislation. with past unity out of this committee legislation service transportation to we did that beating the deadline the president set forth by a a moh or so. report ynez valley after we reported unanimously 20 to zero water infrastructure legislation. our bills went on to serve as foundation for will become a broader bipartisan infrastructure package. senator capito then became -- before we had a gang of 20, king of 19 we had a gang of one and she and the president spent days together, weeks together trying hard to hammer out bipartisan compromise which really laid the groundwork for what would become the legislation that we passed in the senate, passed in the house and the president signed in to love. store capital and other provision of managing that distort package on the senate floor and boosted together on the white house lawn that cold day

the one we hear today are transportation. get people where they need to go and get goods where they need to go in a timely way and help prosper job creation. let me take a look at my notes here. i have some -- just a couple of questions, couple of points i need to make sure to make sure this is on the record. but aside -- we have a lot of witnesses who come before us, including a lot of folks from this administration, earlier administration, i've always described you, people say, what's he like? he say, he's smart. he's smart. i say the other thing, he's practical. and plain spoken. but actually he has a great grasp on issues and is able to really walk and chew gum at the same time and do it better than most anybody that's done it before. from our committee or any administration. so i thank you for all that. i want to say thank you for your willingness to be responsive and to really say your team, your expectations. you set a good example with that. we need a couple of nominations from the administration. one of them is the h

now it is a use case for both transporting people around the city. so people can say, decides i have a nice view, but we can change that and for example, make it into a, a garbage new module. transport goods. any other thing that would be helpful in the city? why is this not just an amsterdam solution? i, we get insights from stockholm and from london and from paris and from singer, florida. all have waterways that are not being used for moving goods around are very limited. the way it's all cities that are based in belt areas or have rich waterways can make use of this kind of solutions. amos predicts that we could see autonomy growth like to robo, become a thing in the next 3 to 5 years. now if we want a mobility solutions to me, environmentally friendly engines and fuels are in the heart of the matter. though it's not expected to replace the battery that far was electric cars, hydrogen extracted from renewable sources, still offers compelling benefits for transportation. we visited a village in germany that's using locally made hydrogen to power,

senator carper and initiated the transportation alternative programs. senator wick certificate my partner on that -- wicker is my partner on that. we provided substantially more funds increasing it from $850 million to $1.4 billion. my point is that the issues that are in the letter that's referred to by senator capito are priorities we have come together as a committee to pay attention to, and it's only reasonable that you would look at the overall plans of the states as to how they are dealing with the priorities that congress has been advancing now for many of our surface transportation bills. i want to ask you, we have these new programs to deal with reconnecting communities, i juss quickly a stay turks i would also like to get to one other question during my time. that is there is announcement made to increase the contracting goals for small disadvantaged businesses. i serve as chair of the small business committee and we have been laser focused in trying to help small businesses. i see the infrastructure bill as a major tool to help america's smal

who's taken a shine to public transport? and that's made him something of a celebrity. van talked to, he loves it stumble. he sees more of the city than we do. and he doesn't have to buy tickets. that's a bit unfair. and let you meet him in the metro on the bus. he is always relaxed and in a good mood czar council cross tre. animals are part of east um ball, but we share our streets and parks with them or that so why not our trams to renew replacement? city workers regularly monitor his health. they've even equipped him with the gps tracker, so they can keep tabs on him. when you pull that up to some time, we are tracking his route and always no way he is even at night. he travels 30 to 40 kilometers every day. but he also takes brakes along in m into new for example. that's one of his favorite stations. and then sometimes he takes a ferry to cover dash and watches the sea for a while. thought in the say to do on the net body has achieved star status. passengers regularly post photos of him. he has more than 100000 followers

and then to take their class transportation were almost everyone else can take first class transportation. american cities have a long history of throwing money at transit for no benefit the worst-case is losng angeles spending millions on transit and lost by bus riders for everyone and writer they gained portland st. louis and otheres cities have no increase in writers the only real beneficiaries of these projects of the engineering firms from the construction firms that built them they have higher gas prices hoping they will return to transit but they want between 1999 and 2011 gas prices nearly tripled after adjusted online inflation that's not enough to increase telecommuting ofme common infectious diseases and with those transit agency. that would make the response to theer transit riders rather than to engineering and construction firms thank you very much. >> talk about the population growthbu part of that growth will result from the $20 billion from the building trades workers over ten years ultimately creating 10000 new jobs so how will that investments of the infrastructure buil

this makes transit third class transportation. the researchers found transit was inferior, even in new york city, the city with the best transit in america. the pandemic accelerated all the trends that led americans to turn away from transit. increased telecommuting. decentralization of downtown jobs and going to the suburbs. and the central american survey increased telecommuting led to more people driving along to 2020 to each decline by 16% and the number commuting by transit fell by 41%, another sign of transit's inferiority. and they came that transit reduces green house gas epolice stations and promotes economic development. i discussed these in my win testimony, but for now would like to address the claim that transit is social justice by helping poor people and free transit will be morally just. in 2019 only 5% of workers who earn less than 25,000 a year took transit compared with 7 percent of people who earned more than 75,000 a year. more than three forth of transit subsidies come from regressive taxes such as sales or p

he has been such a key leader on transportation infrastructure as chairman of our transportation andease come join us on stage. there you are, behind me. [ applause ] all right. let's see what it says here. after secretary buttigieg makes opening remarks, mayor hancock and i will engage our former colleague in a discussion of key issues pertaining to this massive transportation investment. with that, please put your hands together and give a big round of applause to our former colleague and friend, transportation secretary mayor pete. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you. >> still mayor pete to us. >> thank you. it feels so good to be back in a room full of america's mayors. i can't tell you how excited i am. the last time i was here, i think it was as a presidential candidate and a mayor at the same time. i was flashing back to the first time i was here, when i was going up and down those stairways out in the lobby there and i could just see folks' eyes moving toward my name tag, trying to figure out who i was interning for. and since then it's only become a more important organizat

and with that transportation system and those who face barriers to transportation enhancing vehicle safetyucing crashes and increasing productivity and at the same time to recognize that has the potential to alter the workforce to keep as many people employed as possible. is important for this committee in all of those for the witnesses today to have a seat at the table so my first question is for the vice chair. and i know firsthand at the local level to foster innovation. >> and to pilot we went to see partnerships with cities that have more testing and workplaces and provide more data and working to have autonomous vehicles their own safety standards. >> and your testimony calls for federal leadership for those surrounding av. and then to facilitate. >> thank you for that question. in iowa we have a public-private multisector provision for avn create a space for this city iowa automated transportation council. and then to replicate these types of engagements at the level to have a clear and consistent vision and strategy and framework. across the nation in terms of the conversation we c

the point of transportation is to connect. >> right. >> we also know that sometimes transportation assets literally the expression "wrong side of the tracks," right, tells us something about how a physical piece of transportation infrastructure has sometimes been a socioeconomic or racial dividing line. sometimes that happens in very specific and intentional ways. if a discriminatory housing policy or hiring policy is changed, that takes effect immediately. but when you have the legacy of a decision that was made even if it was generations ago when it comes to physical infrastructure, neighborhoods and families and communities live with that for 100 years or more. we have a responsibility to use federal dollars to reconnect, especially in places where those same federal dollars were used to divide before. and so many of you have, i know, on the top of your minds right now, specific examples of where federally funded transportation assets did cut off one neighborhood from another or literally removed a neighborhood, disproportionately black and brown neighborhoods. this is not, by the way,

samuelson, i want to thank the transportation -- transport workers union are making provision and the bipartisan infrastructure bill to improve transit safety -- with bus driver protection and blind spot removal requirements. how can technology help drivers with blind spot issues and general safety issues? >> thank you for the question. in terms of blind spots on buses it is a fact that buses in the united states across every transportation district, every transit provider, bus operators are ordered through to go through pedestrian right of way areas -- on buses with blind spots. that is a bit of a disaster waiting to happen. it's an example of where technology has such an extremely positive place in terms of collision avoidance. that type of thing in order to protect pedestrians, and the rioters and operators. technology has its place. i'm sorry, you asked a second question and i forget what it was. >> helping drivers with point spots. because if they implemented at the avs, then -- i don't know what technology can do to avoid having to help prevent accidents. >> absolutely, the tech
