Auchincloss Leads Letter to Buttigieg Calling for Focus on On-Demand Transit 
 
 “The Department can support transit innovations, including on-demand transit, that will better connect our constituents to jobs, goods, and services while advancing policy goals shared by Congress and the Administration”
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Congressman Jake Auchincloss (D, MA-04) led 14 other members of Congress in a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Senior Advisor to the President And Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu to encourage flexibility for the inclusion of on-demand transit and investments in more reliable, convenient, and sustainable public transportation as the Bipartisan Infrastructure law is implemented.

 In the letter the members stated, “By taking these four key steps, the Department can support transit innovations, including on-demand transit, that will better connect our constituents to jobs, goods, and services while advancing policy goals shared by Congress and the Administration.

 We believe all of these points are consistent with the Department’s Innovation Principles and the Biden Administration's broader priorities. We look forward to working with you on these critical actions that will improve access to affordable transit for all.”
