Statement from OneRail Coalition Director Devon Barnhart on the Nomination of Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation
January 15, 2025
The OneRail Coalition welcomes the nomination of former Congressman Sean Duffy to be U.S. Secretary of Transportation as he participates in today’s Senate Commerce Committee nomination hearing. A robust multimodal transportation system, including a strong rail network, is vital to the safe and efficient movement of people and goods – both in Rep. Duffy’s home state of Wisconsin and across the nation.
We look forward to working with Secretary-designate Duffy, the Trump Administration, and Congress to advance the essential role of freight and passenger rail in supporting the economy, enhancing public safety, and protecting the environment.
