Trump's DOT Threatens Federal Funding Over Truckers' English Language Enforcement
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced that California, Washington, and New Mexico will lose federal funding unless they enforce English language proficiency requirements for commercial drivers, citing safety concerns and failures to comply with federal regulations. The states have 30 days to comply or face withholding of up to 100% of their federal funds from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program.
