The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is preparing to reduce its workforce as part of a larger effort by the White House to dramatically slash the total number of federal workers.

During a recent town hall, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told USDOT workers that layoffs, or “reductions in force” (RIF), are coming soon, according to a report from CBS News.
