This is not your parent's DOT

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood continues to advocate for non-motorized transportation modes. A recent policy statement announces the sea change in priorities to recognize and incorporate transportation alternatives in planning and funding. It is now official DOT policy to consider "walking and biking as equals with other transportation modes."

This statement comes after he made an impromptu table top speech to National Bike Summit attendees that caused quite a stir among the faithful.
