Prepare for the Key Policy Changes Coming from the New Congress and White House

The transportation industry is entering a period of change as the new administration and Congress prepare to address key policies that will affect everything from infrastructure and funding to supply chains and transit systems across the United States. Transportation professionals must stay informed about these evolving issues—from funding decisions to changes in freight and public transit policies—to navigate the shifting landscape and make well-informed decisions for the years ahead.

As these changes unfold, several critical questions arise:

  • How will the incoming administration’s infrastructure priorities differ from the previous administration, particularly regarding funding allocation between highways and public transit?
  • What will be the fate of major infrastructure projects and programs initiated under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law?
  • How will the new administration and Congress address the looming insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund?
  • What changes can we expect in federal support for electric vehicle initiatives, including tax credits and charging infrastructure?
  • How might the new administration’s approach to environmental regulations and permitting processes affect transportation project timelines and costs?

The answers to these questions will shape the direction of the transportation sector in the years ahead. As professionals in the field, understanding the potential shifts in federal priorities, funding mechanisms, and regulatory approaches will be key to navigating the evolving policy landscape and making informed decisions.
