Trump Transportation Secretary Calls Fuel Economy Standards 'Illegal,' Pushes to Revise Them
It looks like the Trump administration's fight against electric vehicles and alternative fuels has sprouted a proxy battle over Federal fuel economy standards. On top of recently proposed taxes on EVs—as opposed to tax incentives for purchasing them—and attempting to axe California's EPA waiver allowing it to set its own pollution standards, Republicans' 'One Big, Beautiful Bill' aims to remove financial penalties that punish automakers for exceeding government-set fuel economy standards, while also relaxing those same standards. On Friday, the Administration's Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, seemingly putting forth a pretext to undo the Biden-era fuel economy rules, says those rules were 'illegal.' The sharp statement is likely the administration's opening move to reset the standards, per an Associated Press report. In the mentioned rule memorandum sent by Duffy, the Transportation Secretary said, 'We are making vehicle more affordable and easier to manufacture in the United States' by removing those standards. The Biden-era rules mandated that the CAFE average must meet a fleet-wide 49 mpg standard by 2031 in annual increments of two percent for passenger cars starting in 2027 and light trucks and SUVs starting in 2029. A statement by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation welcomed the news stating it was a 'positive development and important clarity from the Department of Transportation' and says it repeated that the Biden Administration rules were 'improperly predicated' on alternative fuel vehicles. Transportation Secretary Duffy went further by stating that the use of EVs in calculating the rules was 'illegal' by ignoring 'statutory requirements' the barred consideration of EVs when setting the standards. At this time, the revised rule hasn't changed the existing standards but it will allow the NHTSA to adjust CAFE standards moving forward. Since his confirmation, Transportation Secretary Duffy has pushed the NHTSA to reverse these rules as quickly as possible, though it's unclear how quickly that can happen given the typically required public comment period and other steps that must be taken when altering them. It's possible that by labeling the existing rules as "illegal," Duffy could be reaching for a shortcut; after all, if the rules were implemented illegally, as he alleges, undoing them might be more straightforward than instituting a more conventional change. But we'll have to wait and see how this plays out—and whether any litigation sprouts up to challenge it.

Fort Scott bridge repairs begin this week
BOURBON CO., Kan. — The Kansas Department of Transportation plans to begin a bridge repair project starting this week. KDOT crews will work on the U.S. 69 bridge over Wall Street in Fort Scott, patching and resurfacing the bridge deck. Drivers can expect delays up to 15 minutes, as traffic will be one lane through the work zone. Crews encourage drivers and motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs. The 1.5 million dollar project is expected to be finished by the end of December, weather permitting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Restoring access to this part of Mount Rainier could cost up to $785 million
It has been over a month since the Washington State Department of Transportation permanently closed the state Route 165 Carbon River Fairfax Bridge — and now it wants to hear the public's thoughts on how to move forward. The 103-year-old, single-lane bridge was the only way for the public to access key areas of Mount Rainier National Park, such as Tolmie Peak, Mowich Lake and Spray Park, from state Route 165. WSDOT closed the bridge on April 22 due to safety risks. In an online open house for the public, WSDOT has identified seven potential projects. Each project has different cost estimates and time frames. The options are to: Maintain the permanent bridge closure. Replace the bridge at its current location. Replace the bridge north of its current location. Replace the bridge south of its current location. Realign state Route 165 and place a new bridge near Carbonado. Realign state Route 165 to connect with state Route 162 near Crocker. Realign state Route 165 east of Wilkeson and Carbonado. WSDOT does not currently have funding for any of the options; all of the agency's estimated time frames would start from whenever officials are able to identify funding. The first option would simply remove the existing bridge and not build a new one, according to the open house. 'The existing bridge would remain closed to all users with a dead end in Carbonado,' WSDOT wrote. 'With this no-build option, the bridge would be removed. This work would take about three years to complete once funding is received.' It would cost between $35 million and $50 million to remove the current bridge, WSDOT estimates. The second option would remove the existing bridge and build a new one in its place. WSDOT estimates that it would take six years to remove the current bridge and do design, permitting and construction for a new one. This would cost between $80 million and $130 million. WSDOT's third option would build a new 650-foot bridge north of its current location and realign half a mile of state Route 165. 'This alternative would take about six years from receiving funding and would include removal of the bridge, design, right-of-way, permitting, and construction,' WSDOT wrote. The cost would be between $60 million and $100 million. WSDOT's fourth option would build a new 650-foot bridge south of its current location and 'would require a minor realignment' of state Route 165. This project would take six years and cost between $60 million and $100 million. The fifth option would reroute state Route 165 to the south of Carbonado, starting by Wilkeson-Carbonado Road. 'A new bridge would be built spanning the Carbon River south of Carbonado,' WSDOT wrote. 'West of the Carbon River, the new alignment would follow Lilly Creek and reconnect to the existing SR 165 alignment near Lilly Creek Road East.' This option would take about five years and cost between $465 million and $785 million. WSDOT's sixth option would realign state Route 165 and connect it to state Route 162 near Crocker. This option would not require building a new bridge over the Carbon River. 'The new alignment would follow Lilly Creek and connect to the existing SR 165 alignment near Lilly Creek Road East,' WSDOT wrote. This would take about seven years and cost between $440 million and $735 million. The seventh and final alternative would realign state Route 165 east of Wilkeson and Carbonado. 'It would reconnect to the existing SR 165 south of the current Fairfax Bridge,' WSDOT wrote. 'It would upgrade 12 miles of road to highway standards and include a new or upgraded Kolisch Road bridge over the Carbon River.' Two new bridges would be required on Kolisch Road and Wilkeson Creek, WSDOT said. This would take about six years and cost between $375 million and $610 million. WSDOT is running its online open house until June 17. Residents can submit their feedback online until then at There is also an in-person open house on June 11 at Wilkeson Elementary School from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 'These are drop-in style events; you are welcome to come and go at your convenience,' WSDOT wrote. 'The content of the in-person open houses will be the same as this online format, but you will also be able to speak with the project team and ask questions.' The open house is part of WSDOT's $1.5 million planning study about the future of the bridge.
