The New York subway system, Chicago's elevated trains and San Francisco's trolleys are all operated by a transportation authority. Even the country's vast interstate highway system is managed and maintained by a transportation authority—the U.S. Department of Transportation. Transportation Authorities not only manage and operate transportation systems, they finance them as well. People can contact transportation authorities for information about services, routes or for employment inquiries. People planning a trip may want to contact a transportation authority to ensure they follow the most direct route to their destination. Transportation authorities may be part of the federal, state or local governments.
