Tonight we held a candlelight ceremony to honor the people killed in crashes and to mark the solemn 25th anniversary since the last deathless day on Texas roads. Help us #EndTheStreakTX by always driving like a Texan: kind, courteous and safe. #DriveLikeATexan
A new tool will help TxDOT crews inspect rail bridges. Thanks to @USDOTFRA & @SecDuffy, our inspectors will have a new bridge training program that will help keep Texas rail bridges safe.
FRA is dramatically increasing its oversight of railroad bridge safety by training all Federal and State track safety inspectors to confirm the structural integrity of bridges while they perform routine inspections. Read more here:

Last week I had an opportunity to update @SecDuffy on @TxDOT & @USDOTFHWA efforts to rebuild and repair after the Texas floods. The RM 1431 bridge at Cow Creek was destroyed on July 5th. A new bridge is under construction with the goal to rebuild it in under 60 days.
Today I signed an agreement with @TxDOT to let Texas better manage its environmental reviews.
This is about getting Washington bureaucrats out of the way.
Slashing red tape ensures bridge and highway projects are completed faster, saving TIME and MONEY.
@POTUS and @USDOT are ringing in a GOLDEN AGE of TRANSPORTATION!
Thanks to @SecDuffy and @POTUS's leadership, Texas will continue to have control over the way its residents seek to handle their environmental review.
The signing of this historic agreement with @TXDOT will save Texans and Americans time and money.
Our @TxDOT teams across the state are doing everything possible to restore and rebuild our infrastructure as quickly as possible. Thank you to all the men and women who make this happen.
Glad to have @TxDOT in my office this week, following last week's ribbon cutting ceremony for East Wilco Highway Segment 3 in Williamson County. Texas depends on strong and modern transportation infrastructure. That is why it is critical that Congress works with TxDOT on reauthorization priorities to improve surface transportation. I look forward to continued collaboration with TxDOT.
Thank you @SecDuffy for recognizing @TxDOT as we work with @USDOTFHWA to reduce the time it takes to navigate federal procedures in order to effectively expand our highways and deliver transportation solutions in Texas. @EPWGOP @EPW https://t.co/jD92JG2vHz
A DC judge awarded the Proud Boys’ trademarks to downtown’s Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church Monday. The ruling means that the far-right group can no longer use its name, https://t.co/KfoFgItQzb
