The Department announces the establishment of the U.S. Department of Transportation Advisory Board (USDOT Advisory Board). The purpose of the USDOT Advisory Board is to provide strategic vision and high-level guidance to modernize and enhance the United States' transportation systems. With the American Society of Civil Engineers estimating that over $4 trillion is needed to improve U.S. infrastructure from a D rating to a B, the Board's expertise will be instrumental in shaping policies and initiatives that drive safety, efficiency, resiliency, and long-term progress.
In particular, the USDOT Advisory Board will be dedicated to: (1) developing strategic recommendations for infrastructure modernization and expansion; (2) identifying key investment opportunities in transportation technology and innovation; (3) providing insights into regulatory and policy improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce bureaucratic obstacles; and (4) advising on public-private partnerships to maximize funding and impact. The Board will be continuing, but subject to renewal every two years. The Board is expected to meet quarterly. The Secretary, in consultation with the Board, may create subcommittees to work on specific tasks. Unless otherwise required by law or approved by the Secretary, all meetings will be held virtually.
In this notice, the Department is also soliciting nominations for membership to the Board. The Board shall report to the Secretary and shall consist of approximately ten members, representing a range of industry leaders and experts across key sectors of transportation, including aviation, logistics, infrastructure, construction, finance, and legal affairs.
