Subject

Transportation

What this site holds on transportation, taken from every part of it: the chapters of Project 2025 assigned to this subject, the actions recorded against those proposals, every order, presidential document, agency rule and public law whose own title carries one of this subject's words, and the measures the chamber voted on that the site already groups under it.

In plain English

This page is about transportation.

It gathers what the site holds on it. Parts of the book. Orders and rules. Laws. Votes in Congress.

Most things are here because a word from a short list is in the title. That list is at the foot of the page.

What Project 2025 proposes

Every proposal indexed from chapter 19 (Department of Transportation). A proposal in another chapter that touches this subject is not here.

What has happened against those proposals

Actions this site has already recorded against the proposals above, with the note that says how far each one goes. Nothing new is matched here: every pairing is the one on the proposal's own page.

Partly matches

Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers

April 9, 2025 · 90 FR 15629

  • Leave technology winners to the private sector: partly matches. Executive Order 14267 of April 9, 2025 opens with the statement that federal regulations should not predetermine economic winners and losers, and directs every agency head, including at the Transportation Department, to review all regulations under their rulemaking authority with the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General and identify those that create monopolies, raise barriers to entry, or otherwise limit competition, with a view to rescinding them. It adopts the chapter's premise and turns it into a concrete review. The fit breaks down because it acts on regulations that restrict competition between firms and does not reach the government backing particular technologies through funding or promotion, and it says nothing about who bears the liability when a technology underperforms or about the department's role in overseeing testing and deployment.

Resetting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Program

June 11, 2025 · 90 FR 24518

  • Reset fuel economy standards to levels reachable by combustion engines: partly matches. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued an interpretive rule on June 11, 2025 titled Resetting the Corporate Average Fuel Economy Program. It sets out the factors the agency reads the law to forbid it from considering when it sets maximum feasible standards under the 1975 and 2007 statutes, describes this as the legal foundation for bringing both the passenger car program and the medium and heavy duty program into compliance with those statutes, and says the agency will exercise its enforcement authority over existing standards according to that reading. That is the chapter's argument about statutory limits carried into agency practice. The fit breaks down because an interpretive rule does not set mileage numbers: replacement standards are left to a later rulemaking, so the levels the chapter asks for, feasible for combustion vehicles, are not yet in place, and the rule takes no position on returning to model year 2020 levels.

Rescission of the Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and Motor Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards Under the Clean Air Act

February 18, 2026 · 91 FR 7686

  • Keep fuel economy rules with Transportation, not the EPA: partly matches. The Federal Register summary of this final rule of February 18, 2026 records the Environmental Protection Agency rescinding the 2009 findings of contribution and endangerment and repealing all greenhouse gas emission standards for light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles and engines, on the agency's reading that section 202(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act does not authorize standards set in response to global climate change concerns. That removes the federal carbon limits on vehicles that the passage says must not override the fuel economy standards Congress assigned to the Transportation Department, so the clash the chapter describes no longer arises. The fit breaks down because the passage assumes such limits continue and asks only that they support and work in harmony with the Transportation Department's standards, offering air conditioning systems as an example of what the environmental agency might still regulate, while the rule concludes the agency has no authority to set vehicle greenhouse gas standards at all. The rule states no relationship between the two agencies, and neither the 1975 energy statute nor the Transportation Department appears in what the site holds, which for this document is the rule's own summary rather than its full text.

Executive orders

Orders whose title carries one of this subject's words. The word is printed beside each one.

Proclamations, memoranda and the rest

Everything else the President signed whose title carries one of these words.

Agency rules

Final rules that name an executive order indexed here and whose title carries one of these words.

Public laws

Public laws of this Congress whose short title carries one of these words.

Roll call votes

Measures the House or Senate took a final vote on, kept in the grouping the site already publishes at how votes are grouped, which covers final-passage questions only.

That grouping does not carry this subject, so no vote is listed here.

How This Subject Is Put Together

The grouping is this site's reading, not anybody else's. Two rules decide what is on this page, and both of them can be checked against the thing they were read from.

The chapters. The proposals above are every proposal indexed from chapter 19 (Department of Transportation). Each chapter is assigned to the subjects the agencies and the matter it covers belong to. The whole table, all thirty chapters, is on the subjects page.

The words. An order, a presidential document, a rule or a law is here because one of these words appears in its own title, and the word that matched is printed beside it: transportation highway aviation airport airspace railroad rail truck maritime vessel motor vehicle aircraft driver

A word in a title is a fact about the title. It is not a finding that the document is about this subject: a title can carry a word in another sense, and where it does the document is still listed, with the word shown, so the reader can see what put it there. The reverse also happens. A document about this subject whose title happens to use none of these words is not on this page, and the way to find it is the document index or the search.

Nothing here says whether an action carries a proposal out. Where this site has recorded a match between a proposal and an action, the match and its note are the ones already on the proposal's own page. Where it has not, no match is made here.
