Trump’s initial statements on infrastructure, and the prevalent bipartisan view in favor of infrastructure improvement to spur job growth, could result in a significant increase in private investment opportunities, however, private investment will depend in part on the needs of state and local governments.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) announced that it is establishing a new advisory committee focused on automation across a number of modes.

Our purpose in producing this report was to analyze the latest data and trends shaping transportation so we could objectively frame critical policy choices that need to be made.

Apple has acknowledged for the first time that it is investing in building a self-driving car, and in a letter to US transport regulators, Apple said it was "excited about the potential of automated systems in many areas, including transportation."

Given Elaine Chao's work in labor, it’s also worth watching if and how Chao will deal with the implications self-driving technology will have on the country’s workforce.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Elaine Chao, the former labor secretary and wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, to be his choice for transportation secretary, an official briefed on the matter said today.

As the battles begin for key appointments in President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet, a few names have arisen as likely choices for U.S. Secretary of Transportation.

In his final months on the job, US Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx has been vocal about the pressing need to repair America’s broken infrastructure, and all the ways in which technology will fundamentally change the way we move.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx presented a federal policy for automated, or self-driving vehicles, to spur innovation while taking a proactive approach to safety.

A plan jointly released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration would put a cap of anywhere from 60 to 68 miles per hour on vehicles over 26,000 pounds.

In his final year, Anthony Foxx wants to tear down infrastructure that isolates communities and overhaul the way federal transportation funding is distributed to states and cities in his final year.

Congress ended weeks of contentious negotiation Tuesday, agreeing to a five-year $281 billion transportation bill that will boost spending on roads and transit systems by billions each year.

Speaker Paul Ryan just pulled off what no House leader has been able to do in a decade - corralling an unruly chamber into passing a massive, multi-year highway and transit bill.

While demand for transportation workers will vary by region, subsector, and occupation, there will be a large number of job openings for high-skill and middle-skill workers across the transportation industry.

U.S. Departments of Transportation, Education, and Labor has released a joint transportation jobs report indicating that transportation industry growth will add 417,000 skilled and semi-skilled job openings from 2012 to 2022.
