State Developments
While most attention has been placed on the federal election results, the results of state and local elections can often have a more immediate and direct impact on the transportation industry. Eleven states held gubernatorial elections in November, and 85 legislative chambers in 44 states also held elections. Despite these widespread elections, there was little partisan shift at the state level (only two state legislative chambers changed partisan control in these elections, while none of the gubernatorial elections shifted party allegiance). This continuity indicates that significant policy shifts are unlikely at the state level but may occur in response to or in support of federal developments.
