“Envoy John Porcari has done a tremendous job addressing challenges at every stage of the supply chain, and goods have moved more quickly and affordably because of his actions” 

“Global supply chains will remain fragile as long as the pandemic continues to disrupt ports and factories around the world, and a lot of work remains to reduce shipping delays and costs for American families. We are grateful that General Lyons, formerly commander of the U.S. Transportation Command, will now take on the role of Ports and Supply Chain Envoy, working across every level of government, labor, and industry to strengthen America’s supply chains.” 

-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg

General Lyons will work with the White House National Economic Council (NEC), in addition to the U.S. businesses across the nation in Rail, Ports, Trucking and other logistics and supply chain resources. The goal of the collaboration is to streamline the supply chain and value engineer better ways to address bottlenecks and get goods to families and businesses faster.

“The Biden-Harris Administration has made tremendous progress on addressing the supply chain disruptions we’ve seen as we recover from the pandemic”

 “I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and continuing to engage industry, labor, and port stakeholders to improve the fluidity of our supply chains, cut down on shipping costs, and ultimately save money for the American people.”
