American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) President and CEO Dave Bauer has issued the following statement:

"Sean Duffy's decisive confirmation as secretary is a testament that bipartisanship remains key to advancing meaningful transportation policy.

"We are eager to partner with him and the U.S. Department of Transportation team to highlight the vital economic and safety benefits of robust federal investment in highways, bridges, public transit, and airports, and to reduce the regulatory burdens that increase project costs and delays.

"We are also committed to helping Secretary Duffy bring President Trump's vision for America's future infrastructure to life as we prepare for the next long-term federal surface transportation authorization, due in fall 2026."
