Trump Secretary Says Bike Lanes Are DEI

Sean Duffy, the Trump-appointed Transportation Secretary, has decided to reroute $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants initially designated for DEI-focused bike lanes to fund traditional road and bridge projects. The term "DEI bike lanes" refers to infrastructure improvements that were intended to enhance safety, equity, and sustainability. This move underscores a broader political shift in federal transportation priorities, reflecting the administration's stance on infrastructure funding and its implications for urban planning and environmental policy.
