National Transit Database==

[edit]

Does anyone think we should add information about the NTD? There isn't a separate article about it, but I would say it's notable. It collects yearly information about almost every public transit system in the US! In fact, we actually use it a lot for stats to put in articles. There is more information on their website.

Explanation of DoT's Triskelion Symbol

[edit]

According to an official DoT webpage, the triskelion symbol

… was designed by James M. Ashworth, an FAA employee, and his family …. The family said that using the triskelion (a symbol of progress in heraldry) in the emblem symbolizes continual progress in development of safe, rapid, and economical transportation. Ground, air, and water transportation are depicted in the three branches of the triskelion, and the counterclockwise motion stresses USDOT efforts to reduce travel time.

Pick-up trucks

[edit]

Pick-=up trucks called high rollers can have their bumpers 2-3 feet off the ground (allowing them to run over normal production vehicles) but semi trucks and trailers are required to have a drop down bumper 18 inches off the groound. Do you see anything wrong with this picture. High rollers should be off road vehicles only!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:8B27:7320:1118:696:278:E007 (talk) 03:37, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the symbol?

[edit]

Anybody know where the symbol came from?

It's a Triskelion as far as I can tell, I'm not sure its origin of use though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6001:E24C:A700:5DD6:6D4C:CAF9:CD84 (talk) 02:59, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

request edit DOT Seal

[edit]

To whomever may help me make an edit to this article:

The image used in this article as the "DOT Seal" is incorrect. I know this as I am the US Department of Transportation's Sr. Intellectual Property counsel and one of my responsibilities is to monitor and protect the Department's Seal. I am not familiar with the page editing process in Wikipedia and would like to get this error corrected. If someone would be willing to assist me, I can provide an appropriate image of the Seal for use on this page. I can be reached at IntelProp@dot.gov.
