The U.S. Transportation Department has initiated a second voluntary resignation program as part of ongoing workforce reductions under the Trump administration. Employees have until April 7 to opt for buyouts, allowing them to resign while still receiving salaries until September 30 without needing to report for work. Critical roles, like safety inspectors, are excluded from this offer. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and accountability within the agency. While the exact impact on employee numbers remains unclear, related layoffs have led to significant job losses across various federal agencies.
