Trump signed <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=5380a0a79a&e=850008f825> the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (H.R. 7147 <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=3a714c5cea&e=850008f825> ), ending an eleven-week-long partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The law makes appropriations supporting DHS operations with the exception of immigration enforcement operations conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the remainder of the federal fiscal year (FY) 2026 ending September 30, 2026. Funds will support the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the Secret Service, and the Coast Guard. Congress is expected to consider another budget reconciliation measure as a pathway for providing supplemental appropriations to support ICE and CBP operations beyond the funding already provided by the first reconciliation measure, formally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21), which was enacted last summer. Transportation Congress * In an interview with CQ, House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chair Sam Graves indicated <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=91b0c9c430&e =850008f825> that the Committee could hold a markup on the next surface transportation reauthorization as soon as the week of May 11, 2026 following next week’s Congressional recess. A markup was initially expected this week, but the timeline was delayed as the Chair continues to negotiate with Democratic counterparts on various points of the measure. Politico also reported <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=e7becf80c9&e=850008f825> earlier this week that the Chair has expressed a preference for topline spending of $500 billion to $550 billion for the reauthorization. We will continue to keep you updated as the negotiations continue. Office of the Secretary * The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) finalized a regulation <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=8569249d64&e=850008f825> to reinstate procedures for agency rulemakings, guidance documents, and enforcement actions that were rescinded by the Biden Administration. According to a summary, the reforms establish “(1) updated policies and procedures governing the development and issuance of regulations by the Department’s operating administrations and components of the Office of the Secretary; (2) enhanced procedures for the review and clearance of guidance documents; and (3) improved procedural requirements governing the Department’s administrative enforcement actions and judicial enforcement actions brought in Federal court, including express rights of regulated parties to enforce the protections of this rule through administrative proceedings.” The rule will become effective on May 27, 2026. * DOT published a final rule <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=3fcec2b9ba&e=850008f825> implementing a provision of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-254) that requires air carriers to submit a one-page document to the agency summarizing passenger rights regarding delays, diversions, cancellations, baggage, and boarding. Air carriers must post the document on their websites within 90 days of submission. DOT will provide a date for compliance with the rule following White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration * The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requested <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=3aa825c597&e=850008f825> that relevant stakeholders take a series of steps to maintain their accounts in the FMCSA Portal as the agency transitions to a new registration system. The deadline to complete those requirements is May 14, 2026. * FMCSA shared <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=d3534f2245&e=850008f825> that it has implemented new identity verification requirements for users of the agency’s Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse. The online database provides information to employers, law enforcement, and state agencies on commercial vehicle drivers prohibited from driving due to drug and alcohol violations. Buy America Congress * Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin and Indiana Senator Jim Banks introduced <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=a38c820907&e=850008f825> legislation to strengthen compliance with Build America, Buy America (BABA) standards by federal agencies. The BABA Compliance Act <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c 22fe2ef2a8361&id=2cf4caba71&e=850008f825> would require that agencies submit annual reports to the White House Made in America Office (MIAO) and Congress detailing BABA implementation with respect to their federal financial assistance programs for infrastructure. For programs where BABA has not been fully implemented, the relevant agency must provide a timeline and steps to achieve full compliance. Senator Baldwin argued in a statement that the goal of the bipartisan legislation is to “ensure that Buy America laws are followed and American workers and American companies get the business they deserve.” See a one-page summary <https://watransit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361&id=5a9341c088&e=850008f825> from the bill’s sponsors. <https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6c70c3a1d76c22fe2ef2a8361/images/ea436c8d-6255-4572-b705-ffd9193ee521.png> Transit Job of the Week ________________________________ Principal Planner Pierce Transit Salary Range: $121,551.81 - $153,801.82 This position leads complex transportation planning initiatives and manages capital and service projects, while developing policies and plans that advance equitable and sustainable transit.
