    A huge amount of highway funding is tied to “alternative mode choice” - specifically bike infrastructure. If they revoke these grants, state DOTs and municipalities are going to have to cancel a lot of road paving projects that include bike lanes.

    Does that include high-speed rail projects?

      Per the article, it’s

      —Green infra —Bike infra —EV infra —Project purpose to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

      So might well include HSR if any of the planning documents talk about reducing emissions.
