Mar 12, 2025

Washington – The American Trucking Associations applauded the confirmation of Steven Bradbury to serve as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
 
“Steven Bradbury’s previous experience at DOT during President Trump's first term in office makes him uniquely qualified for this important role,” said ATA President & CEO Chris Spear.  “His familiarity with the inner workings of the agency ensures that he will be completely prepared to hit the ground running, and his insights and expertise will be invaluable to Secretary Duffy as they address pressing transportation challenges.
 
“With DOT’s highly effective leadership team now firmly in place, the agency can focus on advancing its mission to maintain and modernize our infrastructure.  ATA looks forward to working with Secretary Duffy and Deputy Secretary Bradbury to enhance trucking’s ability to safely and efficiently deliver the nation’s freight.”
 
Last month, ATA sent a letter to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee to express full support for Bradbury’s nomination.
