National Transportation Week Activities

by

National Transportation Week 2017 is happening May 15 to May 19, 2017.

National Transportation Week is a way to increase the awareness and appreciation of the transportation industry and to celebrate the community of transportation professionals who keep our country on the move.

  • In 1957, Congress designated the third Friday of May each year as National Defense Transportation Day.
  • In 1962, Congress updated the designation, naming the entire third week of May each year as National Transportation Week.
  • Each year the President of the United States signs a proclamation encouraging the observation of National Transportation Week.

Activities are happening across the area.

Solomon Valley Transportation in Beloit is hosting several events in Mitchell County, Jewell County and Osborne County.  More information can be found on their Facebook page.

OCCK Transportation in Salina is hosting a cook out on Tuesday, May 16th.  You can read about that event on their website.
