On Friday, Pete Buttigieg made his first trip to Delaware as a Cabinet member, standing shoulder to shoulder with many of Biden’s top local Democratic allies, including U.S. Sen. Tom Carper and Gov. John Carney. Buttigieg also participated in a flag-raising ceremony in support of Ukraine in Wilmington.
The purpose of Buttigieg’s visit was to promote Biden’s $1.2 trillion dollar Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and its benefits to roads, bridges, transit, electrical vehicle charging, and more.
Delaware is getting its 26th electric transit bus, thanks largely to more than $9 million in previous federal grants. But Buttigieg’s office said the state is expected to receive about $186 million more from the mammoth infrastructure law to improve public transportation with more electric buses and other initiatives.
