Secretary Pete Buttigieg delivers remarks on rural America.

On August 6-7, 2024, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg traveled to Maine - the 50th state he’s visited as Secretary - to highlight how investments made possible by the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda are strengthening supply chains, supporting rural and Tribal communities, and making it easier for people to get to where they need to go.
In Freeport, the Secretary joined Congresswoman Chellie Pingree and representatives from the White House Domestic Policy Council for an Investing in Rural America event to highlight historic investments across the state and hear from local residents.
