DOT unveils plan to turn highways, rail lines into multi‑use utility arteries

The U. S. Department of Transportation has unveiled “America’s Great Corridors of Commerce,” a federal initiative designed to convert existing highway and railroad rights‑of‑way into shared corridors for electric transmission, fiber optic cables, water pipelines and other critical utilities. The voluntary program, run through DOT’s Build America Bureau, is intended to accelerate utility deployment, cut permitting timelines and create a new revenue stream to help repair roads, bridges, tunnels and rail lines along the same corridors, according to the department. Under the initiative, state departments of transportation and railroads could lease portions of land alongside roads, tracks or in shared utility tunnels to private “corridor managers” that would oversee the design, development, operation and maintenance of the added infrastructure.

Class 8 truck demand stays hot ahead of costly 2027 transition

North American Class 8 truck orders remained elevated in August, with fleets continuing to secure equipment ahead of changing emissions requirements even as the industry prepares for a new model-year ordering cycle.

FTR said the sequential decline largely reflected normal summer seasonality, the end of the 2026 order season and the tail end of a pre-buy ahead of the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2027 nitrogen oxide emissions requirements. The results continue what has been an unusually strong year for new heavy-duty truck orders. Through August, Class 8 orders were 111% higher than the same period of 2025, according to FTR.

For years, European companies have been preparing for a new era of supply-chain regulation. Consultants were hired, sustainability departments expanded and suppliers received increasingly detailed questionnaires.
