Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer has signed an executive order establishing the Delaware Task Force on Sustainable Transportation Funding to address long-term challenges facing the state’s Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) and ensure Delaware’s infrastructure remains strong, reliable and sustainable for decades to come.
“Our roads and bridges connect Delawareans to jobs, schools, healthcare, and each other,” Meyer said. “But we face real challenges—from aging infrastructure to climate resiliency. This Task Force, led by Secretary of Transportation Shanté Hastings, will aim to chart a sustainable path forward for Delaware, so we can continue to build safe, modern, and resilient transportation networks that serve every community.”
“Transportation funding is not just about keeping our roads paved—it’s about ensuring safe travel, supporting economic growth, and meeting the mobility needs of every Delawarean,” Hastings said. “This Task Force will bring Delawareans together to think creatively and work with partners across sectors to deliver a transportation system that is equitable, sustainable, and ready for the future.”
Through public-private collaboration, the task force will work with stakeholders to proactively identify trends in transportation revenues, expenditures, and capital needs over the next 20 years, review the TTF’s financial condition, and seek other revenue sources and solutions to address Delaware’s transportation challenges.
The task force will meet for the first time this month. A report of their findings will be issued by December 2026.
