US EditionDOT Purges 3,200 Grants From Biden Admin: Daily Caller
- The Department of Transportation purged 3,200 infrastructure grants worth $3.2 billion left from the Biden administration as of May 2025 in the United States.
- This measure followed an evaluation aimed at removing initiatives related to social equity, diversity and inclusion, and climate policies from the grants to better reflect the current administration's focus on fundamental infrastructure development.
- The DOT granted $550 million to initiate construction on Alabama’s I-10 bridge over the Mobile River, addressing a campaign commitment made by President Trump, as part of a total of 180 awards for various infrastructure projects including bridges, rail, and airports.
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, "Building More, Building Efficiently and Building Quickly" reflects a return to basics after prior delays from "red tape and leftist social requirements."
- This grant purge and reallocation aim to expedite infrastructure work and cut costs but indicate the administration’s shift away from prior social equity-focused initiatives.
