このコンテンツについて
This airspace modernization push builds on recent steps Duffy has taken to address the persistent shortage of air traffic controllers—a problem exacerbated during the previous administration. At the beginning of May, Duffy rolled out a new package intended to supercharge air traffic controller recruitment and retention, promising expedited pathways for new talent and incentives to keep experienced controllers on the job. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association welcomed these efforts, acknowledging the urgent need to reverse years of staffing decline and ensure both safety and efficiency for the flying public.
Infrastructure funding has also been a priority. Earlier this week, Duffy announced the approval of 180 infrastructure grants totaling more than $3.2 billion, part of an ongoing effort to work through an extensive backlog of more than 3,200 unsigned projects inherited from the prior administration. Since entering office, Duffy and his team have signed off on 329 grants, rapidly moving projects forward with a strong focus on practical results, faster construction, and less bureaucratic red tape. Duffy has positioned his tenure in contrast to his predecessors, stating a commitment to “building more, building efficiently, and building quickly,” while stripping what he describes as costly and unnecessary regulations from transportation projects.
Indeed, rolling back regulations has been a hallmark of Duffy’s first months. In April, he delivered on a pledge to repeal a Biden-era greenhouse gas reporting requirement that he argued increased costs and delayed critical road construction by forcing states to prioritize emissions targets over core infrastructure needs. This deregulatory move was applauded by many in the industry and state transportation departments, which cited improved flexibility for focusing on safety and performance.
Alongside these national initiatives, Duffy has maintained a focus on local priorities, pressing Washington, D.C. leaders to enhance transportation safety and security as more workers return to the office. He has directed attention to improving passenger safety, reducing crime, and restoring confidence in public transit systems.
Through these decisions, Secretary Duffy has rapidly advanced a vision of rebuilding and modernizing America's infrastructure with an emphasis on efficient execution, technological innovation, and a return to fundamental transportation priorities. From accelerating hundreds of major construction projects to embarking on the overhaul of the nation's air traffic control, Duffy’s recent actions reflect a determined effort to make the nation’s transport systems safer, more effective, and ready for the future.
