The unsung heroes on our roads are the first responders who answer the call of duty when there are emergencies on our roads

Drivers can do their part to support them by slowing down and moving over if you see them hard at work

USDOT honors these brave men and women who save lives every day this Crash Responder Safety Week

Can you BELIEVE we still use FLOPPY DISKS in our airspace⁉️

TODAY is a big step in the next step to MODERNIZE OUR SKIES with the Enterprise Information Display System - or E-IDS

Safety and innovation are driving our push as we roll out brand new technology for air traffic controllers… from these new digital displays to upgraded radars, digital radios, and electronic flight strips

So much change is happening to the way you fly ✈️

The busiest airport in the world is going modern in a major way!

Atlanta’s @ATLairport is making the switch from PAPER to ELECTRONIC flight strips

This means less confusion for Air Traffic Controllers, and you will be able to fly in and out of the Peach State much quicker and safer ✈️ 🍑

Restoring America’s energy & maritime DOMINANCE 🇺🇸🛳️

We are cutting red tape to speed up approvals for critical projects like the ST LNG deepwater port off the coast of Texas which will:

✔️ Create 2,000 construction jobs
✔️ Support 855 permanent jobs
✔️ Expand America’s LNG exports

When our energy and maritime industries thrive, America wins @DOTMARAD

[U.S. Department of Transportation @USDOT]

LESS red tape, MORE American energy ⚡️💪

@PHMSA_DOT is modernizing liquified natural gas safety standards to cut outdated regulations, speed up infrastructure projects, and lower costs for Americans 💸

MODERNIZING OUR SKIES

The air traffic control tower at @SyracuseAirport is getting a brand new simulator to cut air traffic control controller training time by 30% … and that puts the controllers in the towers much sooner!

For you that means flying in and out of here is getting faster and safer ✈️

[U.S. Department of Transportation @USDOT]

President Trump and Secretary Duffy are delivering a Golden Age of Rail

We are investing more than $2.3 BILLION across the country to modernize track infrastructure and make rail corridors safer 🛤️

AMERICA IS BUILDING AGAIN FOR DRIVERS!

Check out the project in Utah that is now past the halfway mark because @USDOTFHWA is SPEEDING UP construction👇

[Federal Highway Admn @USDOTFHWA]

Great progress today in Salt Lake County!

FHWA Administrator Sean McMaster joined @UtahDOT Commissioner Carlos Braceras on-site to tour the I-215 West Improvement Project, which has officially reached 60% completion.

Under @USDOT @SecDuffy's leadership, FHWA is using every federal tool to maximize roadway capacity, clear bottlenecks, and deploy American technology to save drivers time and money.

Backed by nearly $175M in federal formula funds (93% of the total $187.5M investment), this corridor revitalization delivers:

➡️ Accelerated Engineering: Alleviating key regional chokepoints ahead of late summer 2027 completion.
➡️ Smart Tech: UDOT is using innovative software pushing real-time lane/ramp closure alerts directly to Waze, Google Maps, and Apple Maps to minimize disruption.
➡️ Economic Mobility: Keeping freight and commuters moving efficiently to eliminate costly delays.

Thank you to the hardworking crews delivering durable infrastructure for Utah drivers!
