The US government will not add diversity language to its transportation rules

The US General Services Administration plans to cancel a rule that would have updated federal transportation management with new language about diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This means the existing transportation rules will remain unchanged, without the proposed additions.

This proposed rescission means that federal agencies will not be explicitly directed to consider diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility when managing their transportation. It signals a pause, or even a reversal, in the trend of embedding DEI-related language into federal regulations. Agencies will continue to operate under the previous, less prescriptive guidelines.
