Sean Duffy: Recent tragedies have 'given us a focus' for increased future safety
The Department of Transportation (DOT) scrapped two memos from the Biden administration that the agency said misaligned priorities to serve a "social justice and environmental agenda."
The two memorandums issued during the Biden administration under Secretary Pete Buttigieg listed objectives such as "reconnecting communities and reflecting the inclusion of disadvantaged and under-represented groups in the planning, project selection, and design process" and "accommodating new and emerging technologies like electric vehicle charging stations," according to DOT.
"Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Transportation is getting back to basics — building critical infrastructure projects that move people and move commerce safely," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in a statement. "The previous administration flouted Congress in an attempt to push a radical social and environmental agenda on the American people. This was an act of federal overreach. It stops now."
