California to Lose $40M in Federal Funds Over Trucking Rules
5 weeks ago
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that $40 million in federal funds will be withheld from California, citing the state’s failure to enforce English proficiency requirements for commercial truck drivers.
The decision follows a deadly Florida crash in August involving a foreign truck driver who had received a commercial license in California. Duffy said the state’s enforcement lapses violate rules issued in June under President Trump’s executive orders.
