Rule/Notice/NOFO: Reminder Letter to All Recipients of U.S. Department of Transportation Funding
Federal Register/Notice: transportation.gov
Description: Transportation Secretary Duffy has issued a reminder letter to all recipients of USDOT funding. Notably, Secretary Duffy stipulates that recipients have entered into legally enforceable agreements with the United States Government and are obligated to comply fully with all applicable Federal laws and regulations. These laws and regulations include the United States Constitution, Federal statutes, applicable rules, and public policy requirements, including, among others, those protecting free speech and religious liberty and those prohibiting discrimination and enforcing controls on illegal immigration. Non-compliance may lead to enforcement actions. To assist recipients in meeting their legal obligations, DOT offers technical guidance and support through its program offices. Should recipients require clarification regarding obligations, they are encouraged to contact their designated DOT representative promptly. Proactive engagement is strongly advised to prevent inadvertent noncompliance.
