U.S. Department of Transportation Turns 50

For fifty years the Department of Transportation has been working to ensure that the nation’s transportation system is safe, efficient, accessible, and environmentally friendly.

Throughout February, you can expect events highlighting the role of transportation in opportunity. Look for feature profiles of DOT employees whose work advances the Department’s opportunity goals.

There will also be blog posts from mayors of several U.S. cities writing about the connection between transportation and opportunity. Senior leaders of the department will participate in Opportunity roundtable discussions in various cities. And of course, Secretary Foxx will be out in front, leading  Opportunity efforts at key events.
