 Welcome back, listeners, to your weekly DOT dispatch. This week’s bombshell: Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy revealed that over 50% of New York’s non-domiciled trucking licenses were issued illegally, including to foreign drivers with expired status. According to the DOT newsroom, New York must revoke them all within 30 days or lose $73 million in federal highway funds. FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs called it a “grossly unacceptable deviation” that compromises road safety.

Duffy’s not stopping there. He’s cracking down nationwide, exposing illegal CDLs in Minnesota and Pennsylvania, threatening $30 million and $75 million in funding respectively if they don’t comply. He also yanked nearly 3,000 CDL training providers from the registry for failing Trump-era standards, with 4,000 more on notice. On the funding front, Duffy struck a deal for $900 Christmas bonuses to 18,000 Amtrak workers, celebrating record ridership. Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers President Mark Wallace praised it as “long-overdue recognition” for frontline heroes.

He launched the “Make Travel Family Friendly Again” campaign with $1 billion to ease family trips, and invested $2 billion in 2,400 American-made transit buses across 45 states. Policy-wise, January’s sweeping order mandates cost-benefit analyses for all projects, rolls back prior regs, requires Buy America compliance, and ties funding to immigration cooperation.

For Americans, safer roads mean fewer crashes from unqualified drivers—vital with deadly incidents rising. Businesses face stricter trucking rules like speed limiters by May 2025 and automatic braking by 2027, but gain from family travel boosts and bus upgrades. States like New York risk budget hits, forcing quick audits; locals must pivot from equity focus to economic viability.

Quote from Duffy: “We’re putting American workers and safety first.” Watch New York’s 30-day deadline and FMCSA’s speed limiter proposal.

Stay informed at transportation.gov. If you spot shady CDLs, report to FMCSA. Tune in next week.
