Transportation Secretary Withholds Funding from California
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that he is withholding $40 million in federal funding from California due to non-compliance with new trucking rules.
The rules require truck drivers to be proficient in the English language, announced amid the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and following a series of fatal crashes.
- A recent incident in Florida involved an illegal migrant truck driver with a California commercial license, resulting in three fatalities.
- Since June, over 6,000 truck drivers have been removed from the road for failing an English proficiency test.
Secretary Duffy's decision aims to ensure road safety and enforce English language proficiency among truck drivers.
