Welcome to another exciting episode of *The Secretary of Transportation Podcast* with your host, Mortimer. In this episode, we delve into the latest headlines and social media discussions focused on the bold moves and controversies surrounding U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Sean P. Duffy. Known for his proactive approach, Duffy's recent initiatives have sparked national conversations and substantial transformations in American transportation.
Key highlights include a monumental $2 billion investment in bus infrastructure, bringing over 2,400 newly built, American-made buses to 165 transit projects across 45 states and Washington, D.C. This ambitious plan is fueling modernization in cities like Houston, Tampa, and Iowa, replacing outdated diesel buses with cleaner, more efficient compressed natural gas models.
In a groundbreaking safety advancement, Secretary Duffy launched the THOR-05F—the first advanced female crash test dummy, addressing gender disparities in vehicle safety. With over 150 sensors, this innovation marks a leap towards equal safety standards for all passengers, sparking both praise and debate.
Duffy is making waves beyond transportation improvements. His viral comments on air travel etiquette, urging passengers to abandon pajamas and embrace civility, have divided public opinion.

From tackling illegal licensing in Pennsylvania to rewarding air traffic controllers and technicians during government shutdowns, his initiatives continue to prioritize public well-being. Moreover, his endorsement of the THOR-05F aligns with a larger policy of "Restoring Biological Truth," emphasizing traditional gender roles in government safety protocols.
