Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to be Keynote Speaker for 28th Annual Lake Tahoe Summit
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) announced that U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has been invited as the keynote speaker for the 28th annual Lake Tahoe Summit. The summit will be held on August 14, 2024, and this year’s theme is “Connecting Tahoe: Investing in Transit, Trails, and Technology for the Future”. The summit will focus on efforts by federal, state, and local stakeholders to address Lake Tahoe’s transportation challenges and support innovative solutions to protect the lake for future generations.
Secretary Buttigieg was a key player in the development, passage, and implementation of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Since the law’s passage, Secretary Buttigieg has focused on effectively delivering the investments provided by this legislation, enabling the most significant improvements in U.S. transportation infrastructure in over half a century. The Department of Transportation also recently delivered $24 million in funding from their Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program to extend the popular Tahoe East Shore Trail.
The Lake Tahoe Summit is free and open to the public. Due to limited on-site parking, attendees are encouraged to use public transportation or the complimentary shuttle service to get to and from the summit.
