Department of Transportation
The Department of Transportation was created in 1967. It is responsible for overseeing over 100,000 employees and using its $58.7 billion budget to it best possible ways. The United States transportation system includes around 3.9 million miles of public roads along with 2 million miles of oil and natural gas pipelines. There are 120,000 miles of major railroads, over 25,000 miles of used waterways as well as more than 5,000 public-use airports. This department also includes more than 500 major urban public transit operators and more than 300 ports on the coasts. It is for this reason that the Department of Transportation has such a great responsibility, so many workers, and large budget that probably doesn’t go as far as it looks. These are all very expensive areas to maintain. The person at the top of the Department of Transportation is the Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta. He is the first Asian American to serve as a member of the cabinet. He and his family were forced into internment camps during World War II. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley. Aft
