01Safety
Bring roadway deaths down to zero.
Deaths on American roads have fallen for three consecutive years. The National Roadway Safety Strategy pairs safer road design with safer vehicles and safer speeds, and funds the local plans that put all three on the ground.
02Infrastructure
Rebuild what carries the country.
The largest infrastructure investment in a generation is under construction: bridges, ports, transit lines and rail corridors in every state, with a set-aside that reaches the smallest communities first.
Our mission

Sixty years after Congress created the Department, the mission has not changed: serve the United States with a system that keeps people safe and the economy moving.
