Happy 50th Birthday, DOT!
President Lyndon Johnson signed the law creating DOT on Oct. 15, 1966, surrounded by Cabinet officers and members of Congress, including Speaker of the House John McCormack at the far right. “This Department of Transportation that we are establishing will have a mammoth task—to untangle, to coordinate and to build the national transportation system for America that America is deserving of,” Johnson said in brief remarks during the ceremony in the East Room of the White House. He appointed Alan Boyd the first DOT secretary a few weeks later.
