But that’s not all. This week, the DOT also announced $175 million in new funding for the Federal Highway Administration’s Ferry Boat Program, impacting 35 states, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. State and local leaders in places like Georgia and South Carolina are moving quickly, leveraging recent budget allocations to advance the widening of I-95 near Savannah—a project that, when completed, will open eight traffic lanes all the way to Hardyville. Georgia alone has put $116 million in federal and state funding into this effort, while partner South Carolina’s DOT called it their largest transportation project to date, at a staggering $825 million total cost.
On the regulatory front, Secretary Duffy’s team announced 52 deregulatory actions across several agencies, including the Federal Highway Administration, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. These moves eliminate more than 73,000 words from the Federal Register and aim to streamline logistics for businesses, military drivers, and state officials alike. Duffy emphasized that these changes target “duplicative and outdated regulations that are unnecessarily burdensome, waste taxpayer dollars, and fail to ensure safety.”
The impacts are huge: For citizens, these initiatives promise safer roads, quicker commutes, and more efficient travel. Businesses will benefit from reduced compliance costs and faster permitting for logistics projects. State and local governments are applauding the new flexibility, while national associations are watching closely as priorities shift from the previous administration’s focus on equity to new criteria giving preference to communities with higher marriage and birth rates and those cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.
There’s also a critical public safety update: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has launched an investigation into last week’s deadly Florida truck crash. Duffy did not mince words, saying, “If states had followed the rules, this driver would never have been behind the wheel. This crash was preventable, and we will use every tool at our disposal to hold these states and bad actors accountable.”
Looking forward, deadlines are approaching for citizen engagement. In Hawaii, the DOT has extended its public comment period on a new statewide Energy Security and Waste Reduction Plan until August 31. If you care about the future of transportation and energy, this is your chance to weigh in.
Listeners can keep up with DOT developments via the department’s official website or by attending upcoming public meetings, especially if you live in a state with major infrastructure projects launching soon. And if you want your voice heard on issues like sustainable transportation or regulatory reforms, now is the moment to join the conversation.
