Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

Distracted driving comes in many forms, but texting and cell phone use while driving is the number one form of distracted driving. Put your phone away when behind the wheel.

As part of DOT’s ongoing work to ease supply chain disruptions at the Port of Baltimore, our team worked with Tradepoint Atlantic to use a federal grant to lay down pavement and bring in additional cargo. Great to see this construction well underway.

We broke ground on a true high-speed rail line on Monday! Once completed, passengers will be able to travel between Las Vegas and Southern California in just over 2 hours. Here's to seeing that through, and more where that came from.

FTC's non-competes ban is a huge victory for workers. The rule makes it illegal for your employer to stick these terms in the fine print of your contract that stop you from switching jobs. DOT strongly supports these protections.

1. Today @FTC issued a final rule banning noncompetes for workers across the country. The rule will ensure that Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Rep. Donald M. Payne, Jr. He was a pleasure to work with and a widely respected leader whose work helped shape transportation policy in America for the better. My thoughts are with his wife, Bea, and their three children.

Today's announcement is historic, but we are not stopping here. Our department continues work on additional passenger protections and we continue to investigate airlines for a number of potential violations of consumer law.

Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees. It's time Americans got a better deal. Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they're owed, and protect them from surprise fees.
