The Department of Transportation’s efforts to make the US transportation system and its own operations greener extend to every part of the department. And on Earth Day 2011, the department had a table with reading material. Among the pamplets and brochures were copies of the Center for Transit-Oriented Development's TOD series books.  These books were created by Reconnecting America and its CTOD partners under its contract with the Federal Transit Administration.

The photos above is of Deputy DOT Secretary John Porcari reading one of the TOD series books.  Read more about DOT's Earth Day activity.
