WATCH: Nunn, Secretary Duffy Tour Des Moines Airport and New DART Facility

DES MOINES, IA — Congressman Zach Nunn (IA-03) on Thursday hosted U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean P. Duffy for a tour of the Des Moines International Airport and the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority’s (DART) new Operations and Maintenance Facility. During the stops, Rep. Nunn and Secretary Duffy highlighted federal investments in airport and transit modernization to make travel safer and more efficient across the Des Moines metro.

“Iowans deserve an airport and a transit system that are safe, modern, and built for the families who depend on them,” said Rep. Nunn. “Secretary Duffy has been a true partner in getting it done, and the federal dollars we secured together are already going to work in our communities to make travel safer and easier for families across central Iowa.”

“This Administration cares about enhancing the travel experience for Iowa families,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “That means everything from investing millions to overhaul DSM’s air traffic control system to supporting family friendly infrastructure in the terminal. Iowans are lucky to have a representative in Congress as passionate as Zach Nunn who fought hard to pass the Working Families Tax Cut Act and make these critical investments a reality.”
