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.
