Mike Rogers, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, celebrated the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on July 3, 2025, the law that took back about $2.4 billion awarded to reconnect neighborhoods divided by highways, around $454 million for clean buses and trucks and more than $1.85 billion for low-carbon road materials, by Transportation for America's count.
The same law ends the tax credit for installing electric vehicle chargers after June 30, 2026, and Energy Innovation projects that the law and other federal changes will raise Michigan gasoline prices 16 percent by 2035.
Mike Rogers's Endorsement of the Transportation Clawbacks
- Rogers Celebrated the Law That Took Back About $2.4 Billion Awarded to Reconnect Neighborhoods Divided by Highways. Mike Rogers posted "Historic tax cuts for hard-working families! It's a great day to be an American!" on July 3, 2025, the day the House gave the One Big Beautiful Bill Act final approval. The law rescinded the unobligated balances of the Inflation Reduction Act's Neighborhood Access and Equity grants, which fund projects that reconnect neighborhoods cut apart by highways. Transportation for America found about $2.4 billion of funding that was awarded, promised, and written up in press releases now being clawed back; in April 2025 it had counted approximately $2.46 billion remaining unobligated across 60 projects.
- The Law Rogers Praised Took Back About $454 Million for Clean Buses and Trucks. The law Mike Rogers praised rescinded the unobligated balance of the Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles grants, which help transit agencies and school districts replace diesel buses and trucks with zero-emission vehicles.

- The Law Rogers Praised Took Back More Than $1.85 Billion for Low-Carbon Road and Building Materials.

- The Law Rogers Praised Ended the Tax Credit for Installing EV Chargers on June 30, 2026. The law Mike Rogers praised ends the 30C tax credit for installing electric vehicle charging equipment for property placed in service after June 30, 2026. Transportation for America noted that tax credits for the installation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure will be eliminated under the law, in a state where GM laid off more than a thousand workers at its Detroit-Hamtramck electric vehicle plant after the federal EV buyer credits expired.
What the Transportation Cuts Mike Rogers Praised Mean for Michigan Drivers
