Feds Withhold $160M in California Transportation Funding Over Unlicensed Trucking Licenses
The Trump administration is withholding $160 million in federal transportation funding from California starting in 2027 due to the state's failure to revoke over 17,000 commercial trucking licenses deemed illegal by the feds.
The Trump administration is withholding roughly $160 million in federal transportation funding from California starting in fiscal year 2027 due to the state's failure to revoke over 17,000 commercial trucking licenses deemed invalid by federal authorities. The move comes after California Governor Gavin Newsom was pressured to take action against the illegal licenses issued by certain companies. The decision is seen as a significant blow to California's transportation infrastructure and may force the state to reconsider its licensing policies.
