Dept of Transportation to prioritize funding to places with higher birth rates and marriage rates

Trump Administration Prioritizes High-Birthrate Areas for Transportation Funds​

Some policy experts said they were not sure how the move was connected to the president’s overall transportation goals.

 

[nycfan]

“… The list of new criteria included one directive that stood out: All of the department’s grant and loan programs should prioritize projects in “communities with marriage and birthrates higher than the national average,” to the extent allowed by law.

It is not unusual for new administrations to apply different standards to funds that their agencies hand out. But some advocacy groups and policy experts said they found the move puzzling and were unsure how it connected to the Trump administration’s overall transportation goals.

In a statement, the Transportation Department said the order would help advance Mr. Trump’s agenda “to support economic development and strengthen American families by focusing on real, measurable benefits rather than ideological considerations.” The department did not respond to requests for further comment. …”

Have to assume this started as a plan to punish blue cities, then someone realized black belt rural counties would get money, so they came up with the marriage angle.
