June 2024
Executive Summary
The 118th Congress saw limited legislative productivity in 2024, with delayed budget agreements and reliance on continuing resolutions to avoid government shutdowns. Despite this, significant activity occurred in the regulatory space, particularly around environmental and labor policies impacting the trucking industry.
Ongoing conflicts between the Administration, Congress, and industry stakeholders centered on stringent emissions rules and labor regulations, many of which face legal and legislative challenges. At the same time, efforts to advance tax incentives and workforce policies remain uncertain amid political divisions.
Looking ahead, budget negotiations, regulatory outcomes, and the 2024 election cycle will shape future policy direction, with continued implications for transportation, infrastructure, and supply chain operations.
