Federal government reverses two infrastructure policies instituted during Biden's administration
The U.S Department of Transportation (USDOT) has announced the rescission of two memorandums concerning critical infrastructure projects, which were issued during the Biden administration. These memorandums, named 'Policy on Using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Resources to Build a Better America', were found to add meritless and costly burdens related to greenhouse gas emissions and equity initiatives.
The decision to rescind these memorandums was made by the current U.S administration, with the official enforcement starting in March 2025. The Trump administration had previously revoked these memorandums during its second presidency, starting in January 2025, with the official implementation beginning in March 2025.
U.S. transportation secretary Sean P. Duffy emphasized the focus of the Department of Transportation, stating, "Our priority is moving people and commerce safely, and under President Trump's leadership, our focus is on building critical infrastructure projects."
The rescinded memorandums were found to displace the long-standing authorities granted to States by law. The new administration has stated that these memorandums are not necessary for critical infrastructure projects. As a result, the rescinded memorandums are no longer in effect as of the announcement.
This move by the USDOT is expected to streamline the process of critical infrastructure projects, allowing for faster and more efficient construction. The department's focus remains on ensuring the safety and efficiency of the nation's transportation system.
