Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will testify in front of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Wednesday, Sept. 20. The hearing, titled “Oversight of the Department of Transportation’s Policies and Programs,” is scheduled for 10 a.m. Eastern.

It is expected to tackle a variety of issues, including implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supply chain issues and electric vehicle infrastructure policies.

Last week, Buttigieg was in South Dakota to announce efforts to increase the amount of truck parking.

During an event Sept. 12 in Sioux Falls, S.D., Buttigieg highlighted the importance of truck parking.

“I want to concentrate in particular on what new truck parking means for drivers and for everybody who counts on this highway,” he said during a news conference. “I know that truck parking is an issue that most Americans probably don’t think about every day, but it’s a vitally important one.”
