Trump Administration Withholds $74M In Highway Funds From New York Over CDL Concerns, Warns Of Further Cuts


The New York Post reports that the Trump administration is withholding $74 million in federal highway funding from New York over alleged failures to properly review commercial driver’s licenses issued to non-resident truck drivers.

According to the report, federal officials also warned that another $147 million could be withheld if the state does not take corrective action.

A federal audit found concerns involving roughly 32,000 non-resident commercial licenses, including many with expiration dates extending beyond valid work authorization periods.

The administration said the move is aimed at protecting public safety.
