“Racial disparities” continue to be a focus for Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg,<\/a> according to a recent appearance on MSNBC\u2019s “PoliticsNation” on Saturday.<\/p>\n

MSNBC host Al Sharpton sat down with Buttigieg and questioned him about his dedication to addressing inequality regarding road fatalities.<\/p>\n

“A lot of people don\u2019t understand, even down to road fatalities, it is not equal,” Sharpton said.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s something that deserves more attention, which is why I\u2019m working to bring more attention to it. We have a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities in America. We lose about 40,000 people every year. It\u2019s a level that is comparable to gun violence. And we see a lot of racial disparities. Black and Brown Americans, tribal citizens and rural restaurants are much more likely to lose their lives whether it\u2019s in a car or as a pedestrian being hit by a car,” Buttigieg said.<\/p>\n

He continued, “There are a lot of reasons related to discrimination and related to even the ways that roads are designed and built, who has access to a safe street design that has crosswalks and good lighting, who doesn\u2019t have that access that can drive disparities, and we have a responsibility to act on that.”<\/p>\n

Buttigieg has previously highlighted discrimination within America\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“What we\u2019re doing is we are reconnecting people who may have been disconnected or divided by discriminatory decisions in the past,” Buttigieg said in November 2021.. “That helps everybody. I don\u2019t know why anybody would be against reconnecting people who have been divided by discriminatory decisions in the past.”<\/p>\n

Buttigieg\u2019s appearance on MSNBC also followed more than two dozen Democrats signing a letter to call for reform to “racist traffic enforcement”<\/a> in the nation\u2019s roadways.<\/p>\n

“On our nation\u2019s roads and highways, Black motorists have experienced disproportionate scrutiny and excessive force under the guise of traffic enforcement,” the letter read. “As Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), we urge you to condemn the status quo of traffic enforcement and develop reforms to reduce racial inequities in traffic stops.”<\/p>\n
