No, the loss of these positions ensured a significant loss in efficiency, communications, and safety. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration suspended law enforcement assistance and air traffic performance analysis. However, neither the FMCSA and the Federal Highway Administration furloughed any of their combined 3,840 employees. This is due to these agencies being funded by the Highway Trust Fund. Additionally, it’s important to consider that the Highway Trust Fund will no longer be funding these agencies as of 2020. Should another shutdown occur following this shift both of the aforementioned agencies will be just as affected as the others.
