Feldesman Partner Scott S. Sheffler was quoted in an article by the Tampa Bay Times, a leading publication covering local news and issues affecting the Tampa Bay Region.

The article, published on March 17, 2025, addresses the uncertainty surrounding federal funding for Florida’s transit agencies and their plans to secure electric buses. The Trump Administration’s pause on federal funding has raised questions about whether the government will honor the funds already allocated for these critical clean energy projects.

Mr. Sheffler further explained that while a U.S. District Court ruling blocked the government-wide freeze on grant disbursements, many federal agencies have yet to resume processing applications. He noted that the federal government retains significant discretion over federal grant decisions, leaving transit agencies in limbo. His insights underscore the broader challenges local agencies face in securing sustainable transit solutions amid shifting federal policies.  Please click here to read the entire article.
