U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy rescinded two memos on Monday issued during the Biden Administration that encouraged states to address how climate change and equity impacts infrastructure projects.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has rescinded two memos issued by President Joe Biden that aimed to prioritize climate change and infrastructure projects. These memos, which were part of Biden's early executive actions in 2021, directed federal agencies to consider climate change in their decision-making processes and to expedite infrastructure projects. The decision to rescind these directives was made by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and reflects a shift in policy under the new administration, focusing less on climate considerations in transportation projects. This move has sparked concerns among environmental groups about the potential rollback of efforts to combat climate change through infrastructure development.
