Welcome to the Fast Lane!

Welcome to the Department of Transportation’s blog, Fast Lane.

This new opportunity will allow me and others here at the Department to speak with you and engage in an earnest conversation about our nation’s transportation system…and, I hope, have a little fun while we’re doing it.

I want the Fast Lane to be a true on-line community, and I encourage you to submit your comments and thoughts.  After all, if I’m going to insist on twenty-first century solutions for our transportation system, I better communicate in a twenty-first century way!

Our entire transportation system is at a critical point in its evolution, and I am excited about the transformation taking place every day.  I can’t wait to begin sharing with you the innovative things we are doing at the Department to make our roads, skies, rails, and seaways safer and more efficient.

Later this morning, I’ll be making a major announcement about plans to cut traffic in Chicago, and posting the details here on the Fast Lane.  This will be the first in a number of important announcements we make on this site, so be sure to check in frequently.

Better yet, sign up at the right hand side of this page to be notified every time we post a new entry.

We’ll feature our first surprise guest blogger in conjunction with the Chicago announcement, so don’t forget to come on back later today…you won’t want to miss it.

See you in the Fast Lane!

- Secretary Peters

I believe that it is imperative that we all drive fuel efficient cars right away.

The concerns over pollution and rising gas prices is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the consequences of gas guzzling automobiles.

I wish more government organizations and departments had a blog for direct public relations. I really feel like I have a voice with the DoT. Thank you for that.
