GOP lawmakers have asked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to provide information related to “a series of aviation and rail safety failures” that have recently taken place across the country.
“These failures indicate a recent and disturbing pattern of failures at the Department” which puts the safety of Americans at risk, Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability wrote in the Sept. 5 letter (pdf). “Therefore, we request a briefing, documents, and communications related to the Department’s efforts to investigate and remediate these issues to protect the safety of all Americans.”
