Proposed

Mandate argues DOT discretionary grants should be abolished (or at least consolidated), with funding focused on formula distributions so states choose modes, reducing Washington project selection.

Proposed

Mandate says Biden unwisely abandoned late-2019 administrative rulemaking/guidance/enforcement procedures and the next Administration should revive them without delay.

Proposed

Mandate would require investment-grade ratings, sponsor repayment guarantees, positive economic value tests, interest-rate stress, and regular cost-benefit analysis of whether BAB loans displace private lenders.

Proposed

Mandate pushes NHTSA/FMCSA to update AV standards, align with AV 3.0 to allow driverless CMV operations, reverse Standing General Order compulsory data approach toward voluntary sharing, and advocate restoring ITS spectrum.

Proposed

Mandate would lower fuel-economy standards toward the statutory MY2020 fleetwide ~35 mpg aim, ensure EPA CO2 rules do not override NHTSA, and revoke California’s Clean Air Act waiver used for ZEV mandates.

Proposed

Mandate criticizes FHWA funding of trails/bike/sidewalks, equity/climate obligations, Vision Zero congestion tactics, and guidance limiting highway capacity expansion in growing states.

Proposed

Mandate would restore Trump UDP rulemaking process, support smaller-carrier joint ventures, review foreign ownership limits via CFIUS-friendly capital, create 12-month new-entrant decisions, reallocate slots for competition, reform 1,500-hour rules, and end Essential Air Service subsidies.

Proposed

Mandate’s FAA reform package separates air traffic organization from FAA (or FAA from DOT), moves from appropriations/taxes to direct user fees, allows ATO revenue bonds, and accelerates remote towers/DataComm.

Proposed

Mandate criticizes transit expansion funding amid ridership drops, wants rigorous CIG cost-benefit screens (Trump urged elimination), return to original §10(c)/13(c) intent allowing compensation cuts, and ending HTF transfers to transit.

Proposed

Mandate says FRA’s crew-size NPRM is not safety-based, and FRA should embrace technological track inspection and electronic brake-slip modernization instead of preserving status-quo job rules.

Proposed

Mandate argues MARAD should transfer to DHS (or DoD if Coast Guard moves) to align with USCG/FMC, and serious consideration should be given to repealing or substantially reforming the Jones Act, with Defense Reserve Fleet expansion if capacity fears arise.

Proposed

Mandate says so long as U.S. carriers cannot fly Russian airspace, foreign carriers to East/South Asia should not keep competitive advantages, and the U.S. should not offer China new talks until existing commitments are implemented.
