U.S. Department of Transportation
The U.S. Department of Transportation is like the babysitter for all the cars, buses, trains, and planes in the country. They make sure that all the drivers and pilots are following the rules so that people can travel safely.
They also make sure that the roads, airports, and train stations are built and maintained so that people can use them without getting hurt.
They work with other groups, like state and local governments, to plan and fund projects that make transportation better for everyone.
