The Interchange

The U.S. Department of Transportation pulls grants from projects that are not centered on cars, affecting initiatives oriented to transit, biking, and walking. The decision alters local funding expectations and can force agencies to pause, scale back, or retool multimodal plans. Communities counting on federal support for street safety upgrades, bus priority, or active transportation links face new uncertainty as allocations shift and timelines for construction and design are reevaluated.
