US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants Congress to make daylight saving time permanent, deprioritize bicycle lanes and mass transit, cut funding for electric vehicle charging stations and ⁠speed adoption of self-driving ⁠cars.

Duffy in a letter to Congress seen by Reuters Thursday ⁠also called on Congress to provide New York Penn Station with another $1 billion for its reconstruction and to direct Amtrak to rename Penn Station.

Reuters ⁠reported ⁠in February the Trump administration offered to unfreeze some transportation funds if Senator Chuck Schumer agreed to support renaming Penn Station after President Donald Trump.
