Abstract:On April 1, 1967, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) opened and began operations in Washington, DC. This poster is a story map of that day. A story map is a visualization tool that organizes text, maps, photos, and multimedia content to tell a story. The authors look at USDOT’s opening day through multiple lenses. Historical resources available in the USDOT, the National Archives and Records Administration, Washington DC historical collections, and other related sources are used to tell this story. A fully interactive story map will be available from the NTL website (http://ntl.bts.gov) in Spring 2017. This poster was presented at the 2017 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting.
