The U.S. Is Heading Over the Transportation Cliff
The DOT plans emergency procedures to save the Highway Trust Fund, which will go bust in August if Congress doesn't take action.
The Obama administration is outlining the steps it will take if the Highway Trust Fund runs out of funds, a doomsday scenario that looms just weeks away.
Since April, the U.S. Department of Transportation has warned that the trust used to fund state transportation projects is running out of money. Unless Congress takes action to replenish the Highway Trust Fund, the administration expects that it will be exhausted by the end of August.
