transportation departments
Transportation departments are government agencies responsible for planning, building, maintaining, and regulating the infrastructure that allows people and goods to move safely and efficiently. This includes roads, bridges, public transit systems, and traffic management. They work to ensure transportation systems are reliable, safe, and meet the community’s needs, overseeing construction projects, setting traffic laws, and coordinating transportation policies. Their goal is to facilitate smooth mobility, reduce congestion, and improve safety for all users, whether driving, biking, walking, or using public transit.
