 Welcome back, listeners, to your weekly DOT rundown. This week, the biggest headline from the U.S. Department of Transportation is Secretary Sean P. Duffy's announcement of $1.5 billion in infrastructure funding to kickstart projects and get America building again, as detailed on the official DOT newsroom site.

Duffy's team is moving fast on enforcement, cracking down on illegal commercial driver's licenses. FMCSA audits exposed over 50% of New York's non-domiciled trucking licenses as illegally issued, with similar bombshells in California—where 17,000 were revoked—Minnesota facing a $30.4 million funding cut deadline in 30 days, and Pennsylvania at risk of losing $75 million. Duffy stated, "After months of deadly crashes caused by illegal foreign drivers, the Department is cracking down." Nearly 3,000 CDL training providers were booted from the registry for failing Trump-era readiness standards, and 4,500 more got warnings.

On policy shifts, DOT rolled out the first-ever National Advanced Air Mobility Strategy to unlock innovative transport, plus a new app with General Motors for road trip planning tied to America250 celebrations. NHTSA proposed resetting CAFE standards, ditching the EV mandate to save $109 billion and hit 34.5 mpg by 2031, prioritizing consumer choice. An interim final rule axed race- and sex-based presumptions in DBE programs, and a temporary waiver tests automated track inspection tech.

January's sweeping order mandates cost-benefit analyses for all rules and grants, rolling back climate and equity focuses for family impacts, Buy America buys, and immigration compliance—rescissions start by mid-February.

For Americans, safer roads mean fewer crashes; businesses gain funding for efficient projects but face stricter reviews; states must comply or lose billions, pushing local taxes; no big international ripple yet.

Experts at Holland & Knight note this prioritizes economic wins over social goals, with deadlines looming for grant tweaks.
