Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao told Transport Topics during an exclusive interview March 31 that her agency stands ready to build on the actions it already has taken to help trucking support the country through the coronavirus crisis. She expressed optimism that the federal government could soon take steps to improve the nation’s infrastructure — perhaps through funds from the $2.2 trillion COVID-19 relief package — and praised the truck drivers who have taken to the roads to confront the challenges posed by the outbreak.
