Buttigieg, 38, will head the Department of Transportation under President Joe Biden.

The confirmation came less than two weeks after Buttigieg testified before the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, where he told a panel of Senators that he planned to make working with Congress on boosting infrastructure funding a top priority for his time as DOT head.

Pete Buttigieg on Thursday made his first appearance in Washington as presumptive incoming head of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

The hearing was mostly congratulatory and speculative, and on nearly every topic related to trucking, Buttigieg took a wait and see approach. We ll look into it, he said on questions about potential further hours of service reforms and pilot programs paused by President Joe Biden on his first days in office. Likewise, Buttigieg gave the same answer on questions about ongoing waivers from the ELD mandate for livestock haulers and exemptions for interstate motor carriers from state-enacted meal and rest break laws for drivers.
