Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Monday said information about the administration's infrastructure plans will be released shortly.

“Conversations are taking place right now, as you’ve seen — Oval Office meetings with the president, leaders from both parties, from both houses. It’s fair to say that in short order you’re going to be seeing more,” he said during a visit to a UPS facility in Landover, Md.

Without providing a specific timeline, Buttigieg said the administration will be taking action well before a Sept. 30 deadline to reauthorize surface transportation funding.

“We’ve got a clock on everything we’re doing, especially because the present surface reauthorization is up in September. We’re not waiting until September in order to act,” said Buttigieg, a one-time rival of President Biden during the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
