Trump Administration Labels Biden-Era Bike Lane and Infrastructure Grants as "DEI" Initiatives
A critical opinion piece from The Daily Wire reporting that the Trump administration is labeling bike lane funding and other infrastructure projects as "DEI" initiatives. The article describes Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's 2021 grants for bike lanes, transit centers, bridges, and traffic improvements as being attacked by Trump officials who oppose "equity" considerations in federal spending. The piece frames this as the Trump administration dismissing any project it dislikes by calling it "DEI."
