Introduction:
The U.S. Department of Transportation establishes the Nation’s overall transportation policy. Under its umbrella there are 10 administrations whose jurisdictions include highway planning, development, and construction; urban mass transit railroads; aviation; and the safety of waterways, ports, highways, and oil and gas pipelines. Decisions made by the Department in conjunction with the appropriate State and local officials strongly affect other programs such as land planning, energy conservation, scarce resource utilization, and technological change.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) was established by act of October 15, 1966, as amended (49 U.S. Code 102 and 102 note).
This material was condensed and edited from the Department’s Web site---with added content to further inform visitors to the Federal Gateway site.
