Budget Hearing – Department of Transportation

Subcommittee hearing.

Witness:

  • Sean Duffy, Secretary, U.S. Department of Transportation

The FY 2027 President’s Budget requests $114.1 billion in budgetary resources for the Department of Transportation (DOT), including $26.8 billion in discretionary budget authority and $87.3 billion in mandatory budget authority.

From the American Public Transportation Association:

The budget requests $16.3 billion (-23 percent) for public transit and $2.8 billion (-82 percent) for passenger rail in FY 2027.

The budget does not request to continue any advance appropriations under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which results in substantial cuts to key public transit and passenger rail investments, including:

  • Capital Investment Grants (-$1.6 billion)
  • Low or No Emission Competitive Grants (-$1.05 billion)
  • State of Good Repair grants (-$950 million)
  • All Station Accessibility Program (-$350 million)
