Apparently Biden is looking hard at Mayor Pete for the Secty of Transportation Role. Skimming through his wikipedia page (which is no doubt completely accurate) I see this extensive background on transportation issues:
"Beginning in August 2018, Buttigieg promoted the idea of moving the city's
South Shore Line station from
South Bend International Airport to the city's downtown.
[145] He made it a goal to have the city complete this project by 2025.
[147] Buttigieg's earlier budgets had allotted funding to the existing South Shore Relocation project,
[148][149] which would have moved the station to a different end of the South Bend International Airport.
[150] Buttigieg's new push for a downtown station engendered suggestions of other possible locations. Buttigieg ordered a study of five location options, including his personally preferred downtown option, as well as two that would keep the station at the airport.
[151] Of the five, the downtown location was found to be the priciest, but also the one with the greatest potential economic impact.
[152] In December 2018, an engineering study was commissioned to further examine the cost of a downtown station.
[147]
In 2019, South Bend launched Commuters Trust, a new
transportation benefit program created in collaboration with local employers and transportation providers (including
South Bend TRANSPO and
Lyft) and made possible by a $1 million three-year grant from
Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge.
[153][154]"
So he suggested moving a commuter rail station AND created a pilot commuter benefits program for a city of 100,000 people. Sounds like the right person for the job.
