このコンテンツについて
One of Duffy’s signature early actions was the repeal of a Biden-era greenhouse gas rule aimed at tying transportation funding to emissions reduction targets. Duffy argued that such regulations drove up project costs and slowed necessary upgrades to America’s aging roads, bridges, and highways. By slashing the rule, his department signaled a clear shift away from climate-focused mandates, instead emphasizing traditional infrastructure priorities and faster delivery of major projects. This move was welcomed by state transportation leaders, who appreciated the return to established performance measures and a reduction in federal red tape around new construction.
Duffy has also taken steps to halt federal grants supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and certain green energy initiatives, which he criticized as unrelated to the core mission of the Department of Transportation. In a series of public statements and press releases, he framed these actions as necessary to keep the focus on practical outcomes for the American people—safer roads, bridges, and more efficient travel—rather than what he labeled as “woke” or “scam” agendas.
A major area of imminent reform under Duffy’s leadership is air traffic control. Recent high-profile incidents underscored the need for systemic modernization. Duffy revealed that the administration is days away from announcing a sweeping plan to overhaul the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure, which he and President Trump have called “very obsolete.” Discussions about involving major technology and defense contractors such as IBM and Raytheon are underway, and the overhaul aims not only to enhance safety but also efficiency. The Federal Aviation Administration has already announced new incentives to attract and retain air traffic controllers, particularly in regions facing acute shortages—a problem Duffy has made clear is a top priority.
In aviation more broadly, Duffy has promised close scrutiny of aircraft safety, especially in response to ongoing concerns about Boeing. His approach includes strengthening federal oversight and restoring public trust, while also accelerating hiring and training in the sector to address chronic workforce gaps.
On the technology front, Duffy supports replacing the current patchwork of state laws governing self-driving cars with cohesive federal standards. He argues this approach will speed up the deployment of autonomous vehicles while ensuring safety and consistency nationwide, drawing praise from industry leaders and advocates for regulatory clarity.
From resetting fuel economy standards to pledging greater transparency and speed in distributing federal transportation funds, Duffy’s tenure has so far been defined by a drive to unshackle infrastructure development from regulatory constraints. His goal, in alignment with President Trump, is to usher in a “golden age” of American transportation focused on tangible improvements for commuters, truckers, and travelers, with a strong emphasis on revitalizing physical infrastructure and scaling back the broader social and environmental ambitions of the previous administration.
