Elon Musk’s DOGE has canceled 26 leases for Department of Transportation (DOT) subagencies across 20 states and Puerto Rico. The cuts hit offices within the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Maritime Administration (MARAD), and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). While DOGE claims the move will generate substantial savings, the abrupt terminations have left many federal employees scrambling. These cuts will slow down highway and transit projects, weaken safety oversight for trucks, trains, and pipelines, and reduce the federal response to local emergencies.
