"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced a new $1 billion federal grant program to "make the experience better in airports," a program that he suggested could include workout areas. "I want to expand the play areas for kids," Duffy said while announcing the funding at the Ronald Reagan National Airport yesterday. "I want additional nursing pods for nursing mothers. I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing, doing some pull-ups or some step-ups.""
"Last month, Duffy announced a new Department of Transportation initiative aimed at getting people to be more polite and dress better when they travel by air. "And so sometimes you just have to ask people, hey, let's maybe go back to an era where we didn't wear our pajamas to the airport," he said on Fox Business. "We actually might dress up a little bit. And if somebody needs help putting their luggage up in the overhead bin, help them out!""
The Department of Transportation created a $1 billion federal grant program to make airport experiences better, potentially funding workout areas, expanded play areas for children, and additional nursing pods. The announcement included guidance discouraging full-body sweating while using such facilities and emphasized limited, light exercise like pull-ups or step-ups. A pull-up contest occurred at Ronald Reagan National Airport between transportation and HHS officials, with one official completing 20 pull-ups and the other 10. A separate initiative aims to encourage politeness and more formal dressing on flights, including helping others with overhead baggage. Funding decisions may consider passenger comfort and family needs. The program ties infrastructure upgrades to passenger behavior and amenities.
