	The United States Department of Transportation:
		The mission of the Department of Transportation, a cabinet-level executive department of the United States government, is to develop and coordinate policies that will provide an efficient and economical national transportation system, with due regard for need, the environment, and the national defense.
		The department would accomplish this mission under the leadership of a secretary, an under secretary, and four staff assistant secretaries whose functions, though unspecified, expedited the line authority between the secretary and under secretary and the heads of the operating administrations.
		Meanwhile, the department continued to be at the center of the federal government's crisis management response team, as exemplified by its response to flooding in the Mississippi River Basin in the summer of 1993 and the Northridge earthquake of January 1994.

	United States Department of Transportation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is administered by the United States Secretary of Transportation.
		The federal government has increasingly become more active in transportation policy by levying federal taxes and making grants to state governments for specific projects, but technically, the actual day-to-day responsibility for the resulting projects remains with the states.
		Of course, the gradually increasing reliance of states upon federal grants has given the federal government a significant amount of indirect control over state transportation policy through its Spending Clause powers.

	United States Department of Transportation v. Public Citizen
		In this case, Public Citizen challenges the decision to permit Mexico-domiciled trucks to cross into the United States and travel throughout the country, on the grounds that the federal government has not compiled with the environmental impact statement (EIS) requirements of the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) prior to finalizing that decision.
		DOT concluded that the environmental effects of increased Mexican trucking in the United States would not be attributable to its regulations, but rather to the independent action of the President in lifting the moratorium.
		Whether a presidential foreign-affairs action that is otherwise exempt from environmental-review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4321 et seq., and Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7506(c)(1), became subject to those requirements because an executive agency promulgated administrative rules concerning implementation of the President's action.
