Dear Chair Cole, Ranking Member DeLauro, Chair Womack, and Ranking Member Clyburn:
Thank you for holding tomorrow’s vital markup to consider the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget for the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT).

We are committed to eliminating the preventable physical, emotional and economic toll of motor vehicle crashes, and robust funding is vital to accomplishing this safety priority.
