A recent bill passed by Republican lawmakers significantly impacts the American transportation system. Key changes include a $12.5 billion fix to the Air Traffic Control system and a plan to eliminate the electric vehicle tax credit. However, the Neighborhood Access and Equity Grant program suffered a 94 percent funding cut, affecting communities set to benefit from reduced highway pollution. Additionally, the bill's healthcare cuts could displace millions of Americans from coverage, tying transportation issues to broader health and social policy ramifications. Advocates must recognize these intersections to drive effective reform.
Republican lawmakers have passed a bill that could send shockwaves through the American transportation system. A trillion dollars in slashed taxes for the one percent and a $150 billion cash infusion for Trump's mass deportation scheme have risen to the top of the narrative heap.
The Neighborhood Access and Equity Grant program lost 94 percent of its funding with barely any acknowledgment of the harm that will do to communities targeted for highway removal.
