The U.S Department of Transportation (USDOT) has rescinded two Biden-era memorandums concerning critical infrastructure projects.
The announcement, made by U.S. transportation secretary Sean P. Duffy, will rescind the ‘Policy on Using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Resources to Build a Better America’ and ‘Policy on Using Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Resources to Build a Better America’ policies.
The new administration stated that both of these Biden-era memos displaced the long-standing authorities granted to States by law, added meritless and costly burdens related to greenhouse gas emissions and equity initiatives.
U.S. transportation secretary Sean P. Duffy said: “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.”
Achievements and innovations in sustainable transport planning will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
