WSJ Your Money Briefing · What Travelers Should Expect From the Biden Administration · 18 Nov 2020 podcast

Good to be with you, JR. voice-verified

Yeah, very much so. voice-verified

And it goes beyond the president-elect's fondness for Amtrak. voice-verified

Transportation will deal with infrastructure. voice-verified

It'll deal with climate issues. voice-verified

So there will be lots of projects, lots of spending, lots of money involved. voice-verified

Yeah, I think there will be action on that just because so many people are outraged by it and airlines have flaunted U.S. voice-verified

regulations. voice-verified

So I think there will be in the Department of Transportation a new focus on customer issues. voice-verified

We just haven't seen any action on that for the last four years. voice-verified

So even things like rules for emotional support animals, those were proposed but haven't been enacted yet. voice-verified

And so, you know, that's an open question. voice-verified

There are open questions on evacuation safety, seat dimensions, cockpit barriers, a lot of issues that affect travelers that I think will have to be addressed soon. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

You know, I think President-elect Biden has made it clear that he's in favor of a mask mandate, a federal mask mandate. voice-verified

One of the few places that the federal government can have immediate impact on that is on airplanes because that's federal jurisdiction. voice-verified

And so I think we will see a mask mandate. voice-verified

And frankly, the airlines have their rules set voice-verified

But compliance has been spotty, as we've seen. voice-verified

And they think part of that is that the airlines can say, hey, we're going to put you on our no-fly list. voice-verified
