U.S. Transportation Department Rolls Back Biden-Harris Policies for Economic Growth

The U.S. Transportation Department has revoked several policies from the Biden-Harris Administration, shifting focus toward economic growth. These changes emphasize cost efficiency, reduced regulations, and infrastructure expansion. This was reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

U.S. Transportation Department Reverses Biden-Harris Policies

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy recently signed a memorandum eliminating various Biden-era regulations. The directive instructs department leaders to identify and revoke policies supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, environmental justice, and other ideological objectives.

Duffy also mandated that all U.S. Transportation Department funding, programs, and policies prioritize economic growth. The new order promotes financial efficiency, ensures regulatory clarity, and prevents politically motivated decision-making in transportation initiatives.

Additionally, Duffy approved a rulemaking notice to repeal a Biden-era mandate requiring states to monitor carbon dioxide emissions. This regulation imposed strict environmental targets on federally funded highways, increasing compliance costs for local governments.

“These policy reversals mark a significant shift toward practical governance and data-driven decision-making,” Duffy stated. He underscored President Trump’s dedication to cutting unnecessary regulations, lowering expenses for American families, and prioritizing infrastructure growth over partisan objectives.

By rescinding these rules, the department aims to create a transportation system that prioritizes efficiency and economic stability. Leadership is focused on infrastructure solutions that benefit national interests and long-term development.
