During a Senate hearing, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy clarified he has not halted funding for any previously approved 'woke' transportation projects. Instead, he is examining grants for sustainability aspects, as per Congressional guidance. Duffy criticized the previous administration, particularly Pete Buttigieg, for leaving a backlog of about 3,200 projects awaiting grant agreements, which he believes has contributed to delays. He emphasized that the current administration, having been in office for only two months, should not be the focal point of public concern over stalled projects.
