CAPITO STATEMENT ON BIDEN ADMIN IMPOSING EMISSIONS MANDATES ON STATE DOTS
Press Release
Issues: Transportation Environment
"Federal overreach to advance a misguided climate agenda has become a staple of the Biden administration. The final rule announced today, which imposes the performance measure and the requirement to set greenhouse gas targets on state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations, is just one more example of these harmful regulations. During negotiations of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this authority for FHWA was purposefully left out of the final bipartisan bill that was signed into law. Without the authority to impose this mandate, the FHWA is ignoring the letter of the law to finalize a rule that hampers the ability of state DOTs and MPOs to address the transportation needs of their constituents."
