Part 5/9:
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, during an interview discussing these new regulations, emphasized the dual focus of the proposed changes: reducing the likelihood of travel disruptions and ensuring that travelers receive adequate care in the event of such inconveniences. Such measures are being considered as necessary steps to improve the travel experience in a market that has seen substantial growth yet failed to adapt sufficiently to customer needs.
Implementing Practical Solutions
Secretary Buttigieg stressed the importance of input from the public and data-gathering processes to enact effective changes. He indicated the intent to pursue improvements that have already shown promise, evidenced by a reported cancellation rate improvement of around 1.3% this year.
