PETE BUTTIGIEG WANTS TO MAKE TRANSIT ACCESSIBLE — AND PAY FOR IT, TOO

THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION TALKS MOBILITY JUSTICE, MISSING SIDEWALKS AND ELEVATORS, AND BILLIONS IN FEDERAL GRANTS CURRENTLY UP FOR GRABS

BUTTIGIEG: 

All of us have a stake in it. 

The state must support a society that allows everybody to thrive. 

That is really what is so urgent about this, because there are many problems that society or America hasn't solved — like, we are trying to figure out nuclear fusion.

But unlike particle physics, a lot of questions about accessibility have been addressed.

We've figured out how to do things from curb cuts to safe transportation of people who use wheelchairs for mobility. 

And yet, it's not happening everywhere.
