U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announces an air traffic control infrastructure plan at the Transportation Department in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 8, 2025.

U.S. Dept. of Transportation officials selected the Allston project for an award in 2024. Funding for the program was to remain available through the end of September 2026.

The Department of Transportation said the final number of cuts would depend on how many employees first take a buyout offer. The cuts could happen as soon as the end of the month.
