WASHINGTON, May 2 (Reuters) - The White House said Friday it wants to cut funding for the Transportation Security Administration by $247 million, while boosting spending on rail and air safety.
The 2026 budget proposal seeks another $360 million for the FAA to support air traffic controller hiring and salary increases and updates to its outdated telecommunications systems and $400 million in new rail safety and infrastructure. The proposal also calls for cutting by $300 million funding for Essential Air Service, a program to subsidize commercial air service to rural airports.
