Many people are utilizing ride-sharing apps as a method for commuting these days. However, that can be difficult if you work on a military base. As you can imagine, security protocols can make it hard for someone to drive up to one and ask if they can just drop someone off. The Army though is trying to find a workaround. A new pilot program is testing out methods to get certain drivers credentialed to make such drop offs. I learned more about it from Col. Mike Burns, Director of Public Affairs for

2025/04/11

Based on the events from the first Trump administration, it didn't necessarily come as a surprise that cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency would be one of the first decisions to be made. Just like all the other ones facing downsizing though, the one surprise may have been just how far they would go. The White House is aiming for a 65 percent cut to the agency's workforce and activities. To find out what that would mean for environmental regulation overall, I spoke to former EPA Science

The PMA put the ‘M’ back in OMB

The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton ·

2025/04/10

For too many decades, the M side of OMB played second fiddle to the budget side, but the Republican nominee for president, George W Bush, and his team, began charting a path to change that. The way the Bush administration pumped up the M side of OMB was with the introduction of the President's management agenda, or the PMA. As part of Federal News Networks 25th anniversary celebration, the PMA has been named a top moment in the last 25 years, and executive editor Jason Miller joins me now to tell us

Boring but public details about how government agencies are structured, staffed, and funded mean citizens and Congress can hold those agencies accountable. The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, doesn’t seem to be following any of those rules.
