Continuing my review and summarization of Project 2025, Chapter 19 covers the Dept of Transportation.

1. Use private financing to construct infrastructure. In exchange for providing the financing, the private partner retains the right to operate the asset 

2. Remove regulatory barriers by focusing on updating vehicle standards 

3. One reason for the high numbers of injuries on American roadways is that national fuel economy standards raise the price of cars, disincentivizing people from purchasing newer, safer vehicles. NB: The primary causes of auto accidents are distracted driving, driving under the influence (40% of fatalities and costing $51 billion/year), and speeding which are likely to continue to occur even with new cars.

4. Remove Biden’s fuel economy requirements while blaming him for “hundreds of additional fatalities and thousands of additional injuries on U.S. highways” because people are driving old cars.

5. Get rid of DEI practices 

6. Continue the four US airlines near monopoly on flight, stating it will reduce the price of air travel. NB: anyone who’s traveled recently knows all too well the high ticket prices and surcharges on baggage, and poor—if any—meals available in flight.

6. Decrease the flight hours required for copilots to be certified

7. Get rid of the Essential Air Service program that subsidized slights to 200 small airports that are not commercially viable. 

8. Replace conventional control towers with high-resolution digital remote cameras

9. Unite the Coast Guard and the Merchant Marine in one department

An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Pass the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act

474 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

There were over 500 near-misses by major commercial airlines last year. Every one of these misses could’ve been the next airline crash disaster killing hundreds of passengers. One of the problems is that air traffic controllers are working 10 hour shifts, 6 days a week, with mandatory overtime. And the problem is getting worse as the airline industry loses more air traffic controllers each year than it’s training to replace them. Congress can take a huge step forward in restoring public safety for travelers, workers, and the public at large by reauthorizing the Federal Aviation Administration now. The good news is that in August of last year, the House passed the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act -- the bipartisan legislation to restore and improve important aviation safety and infrastructure programs. Since then the Senate has passed a budget for training 3,000 more air traffic controllers over the next 5 years, but that’s not good enough. It doesn’t address the working conditions and other safety issues, and that means it won’t go far enough to improve safety and make it safer to fly. I’m writing to urge you to please co-sponsor and pass the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration with maximum staffing for air traffic controllers now.

The Air Traffic Control Equipment Market is projected to reach $9.6 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.5%. With increasing air traffic, the adoption of advanced communication, navigation, and surveillance systems is rising, particularly in commercial and cargo aircraft. Emerging economies are investing in modernizing ATC infrastructure to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

Bomb Love, 2003 Edition: 150 signed Banksy - The Great Communicator in Trieste, Italy It takes a lot of guts to stand up anonymously in a western democracy and call for things no one else believes in like peace and justice and freedom.’ Bomb Love is pure Banksy: provocative, bitingly satirical, and yet tender… Always a strong opponent of mass media and casual consumerism, the senses that today’s youth are being sold aggression instead of innocence, war instead of play literally explodes from this print in a flash of bubble-gum bring pink. Bomb Love, also known as Bomb Hugger, portrays a young girl hugging a bomb as if it were a cuddly toy. This striking stencil contrasts the innocence and purity of the smiling girl with the violence and destruction bombs create. This image also provokes anxiety as this deadly weapon she is holding might explode at any minute. This work illustrates modern society’s affection for warfare, encouraging large corporations to manufacture and sell bombs by the millions as if they were toys. Bomb Love is also a clear salute to the power of love, that can prevail over war and violence – perhaps this little girl could disarm a bomb through her loving embrace. This young girl shows no fear; in fact, her face and smile clearly demonstrate she is very comfortable hugging the bomb. Bomb Love highlights our society’s indifference and numbness to warfare, as countless bombs and weapons are manufactured everyday and either stored or sold to oppressive regimes – often under the pretense that weapons are necessary to maintain peace in the world. It also highlights the trivialization of warfare, presented as a harmless game without any consequence, just like playing with a toy.
