Office of the Chief Financial Officer 

and Assistant Secretary for Budget 

and Programs; U.S. Department of 

Transportation Learning Agenda 

Supplement: Fiscal Years 2024–2026 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST),

the safe, efficient, sustainable, and 

equitable movement of people and 

goods. Developing rigorous research and 

applying relevant evidence are essential 

components of the Department’s 

success. On March 28, 2022, we 

published our first Department-wide 

Learning Agenda for Fiscal Years (FY) 

2022–2026 (the ‘‘Learning Agenda’’) in 

conjunction with the Department’s FY 

2022–2026 Strategic Plan (the ‘‘Strategic 

Plan’’). The Learning Agenda was our

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Foundations for Evidenced-Based 

Policymaking Act of 2018 1 requires 

many Federal agencies to create an 

evidence-building plan, referred to as a 

Learning Agenda, to identify and 

address questions relevant to the 

agency’s programs, policies, and 

regulations.2

The law further states that agencies 

‘‘shall consult with stakeholders, 

including the public, agencies, State and 

local governments, and representatives 

of non-governmental researchers’’ when 

developing their Learning Agenda.3

We published our FY 2022–2026 

Learning Agenda in March 2022.4 In 

compliance with the Foundations for 

Evidenced-Based Policymaking Act of 

2018, we review our Learning Agenda 

annually, allowing us to adjust as 

needed when new evidence is generated 

or as priorities shift. In our most recent 

annual review, we decided that it would 

be appropriate to update the Learning 

Agenda to incorporate our experiences 

from the last two years and additional 

feedback from our stakeholders. 

We also publish Annual Evaluation 

Plans (available at https://

www.transportation.gov/budget) that 

describe the significant evaluation 

activities that we expect to launch each 

year as well as the major ongoing 

evaluation activities. To date, we have 

published Annual Evaluation Plans for 

FY 2023 and 2024.5

The U.S. Department of 

Transportation (DOT) touches the lives 

of every person in the United States and 

its territories through its work to 

improve the safety and performance of 

our multi-modal transportation system. 

The Nation’s transportation networks 

include two million miles of public 

roads, 110,000 miles of major railroads, 

25,000 miles of commercially navigable 

waterways, 1.8 million miles of natural 

gas and oil pipelines, 5,200 public-use 

airports, and more than 3,000 operators 

of transit services.6

Congress established DOT in 1967, 

consolidating 31 transportation-related 

agencies and functions. Approximately 

55,000 DOT employees continue to 

bring innovations and integrity to the 

work of improving the safety and 

performance of our multi-modal 

transportation system. Leadership of the 

Department is provided by the Secretary 

of Transportation, who is the principal 

advisor to the President in all matters 

relating to Federal transportation 

programs. The Office of the Secretary 

oversees nine Operating 

Administrations, each with its own 

management and organizational 

structure. These nine Operating 

Administrations are: 

—Federal Aviation Administration 

—Federal Highway Administration 

—Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

—Federal Railroad Administration 

—Federal Transit Administration 

—Great Lakes St Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation 

—Maritime Administration 

—National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

—Pipeline and Hazardous Material 

Safety Administration 

Our Learning Agenda draws on work 

from across all nine of our Operating 

Administrations to identify key learning 

questions that support our strategic 

goals. The current Learning Agenda is 

organized around three sets of priority 

questions: Safety, Climate, and Equity. 

These priority questions are aligned 

with our FY 2022–2026 Strategic Plan 7

includes at least one area of focus: 

• Safety Priority Questions 

Æ Focus Areas: Drug-Impaired 

Driving (Excluding Alcohol), 

Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety, 

Improving Aviation Safety and 

Efficiency 

• Climate Priority Questions 

Æ Focus Area: Reducing 

Transportation Greenhouse Gas 

Emissions 

• Equity Priority Questions 

Æ Focus Area: Equity in the DOT 

Workforce 

This RFI is part of our stakeholder 

engagement to develop the Learning 

Agenda Supplement. The goal of the 

Supplement is to identify new research 

and data priorities not currently 

included in the Learning Agenda that, if 

answered, could advance DOT’s mission 

and achieve the long-term goals in our 

Strategic Plan. We will publish the 

Learning Agenda Supplement on the 

DOT website.8

The Learning Agenda Supplement can 

help us advance the strategic goals 

identified in our FY 2022–2026 

Strategic Plan and our FY 2024–2025 

Agency Priority Goals.9 Identifying 

evidence-building needs inherent to 

these plans will help guide us in 

developing the Learning Agenda 

Supplement. 

The FY 2022–2026 DOT Strategic 

Plan provides the roadmap for 

advancing the Department’s mission. It 

describes the long-term goals that we 

aim to achieve, the actions that we will 

take to realize those goals, and how we 

will most effectively use resources. It 

also identifies six Strategic Goals, which 

are outcome-oriented, long-term goals 

for our major functions and operations: 

Safety, Economic Strength and Global 

Competitiveness, Equity, Climate and 

Sustainability, Transformation, and 

Organizational Excellence. Each 

Strategic Goal has associated Strategic 

Objectives, which express more 

specifically the impact DOT is trying to 

achieve. We also established numerous 

performance goals that define what 

success looks like for each Strategic 

Objective, which can be found in our FY 

2024 Performance Plan and FY 2023 

Performance Report.10

Our Agency Priority Goals (APG) are 

a performance accountability structure 

of the Government Performance and 

Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 

that provides us with a mechanism to 

focus leadership priorities, set 

outcomes, and measure results. They 

elevate mission areas where we need to 

drive significant progress and change. 

Agency Priority Goal statements are 

outcome-oriented, ambitious, and 

measurable with specific targets set that 

reflect a near-term result or achievement 

that agency leadership wants to 

accomplish within approximately 24 

months. The Agency Priority Goals 

identify officials responsible for goal 

achievement, and our leaders review 

performance on a quarterly basis to 

identify barriers to progress and make 

changes to implementation strategies to 

achieve goal outcomes. We set five 

Agency Priority Goals covering FY 

2024–2025: Roadway Safety, Aviation 

Safety, High-Performing Core Assets, 

Equity, and National Electric Vehicle

Department of Energy). 

The Learning Agenda Supplement: FY 

2024–2026 can also support the 

evidence-building needs of the DOT’s 

National Roadway Safety Strategy, the 

FAA Safety Call to Action and the 

Independent Aviation Safety Review 

Team’s findings, the DOT’s Equity 

Action Plan, and the U.S. National 

Blueprint for Transportation 

Decarbonization (NBTD). Identifying 

evidence-building needs related to these 

strategies and reports will inform the 

development of the Learning Agenda 

Supplement. 

We released the National Roadway 

Safety Strategy in January 2022.11 It 

outlines our comprehensive approach to 

significantly reducing serious injuries 

and deaths on our Nation’s highways, 

roads, and streets aligned to our 

ambitious long-term goal of reaching 

zero roadway fatalities. 

In February 2023 we launched the 

FAA Safety Call to Action and in April 

2023 established and appointed outside 

experts to the Independent Aviation 

Safety Review Team with the goal of 

ensuring that our structure continues to 

be fit for purpose for the U.S. aerospace 

system for both today and the future.12

Safety guides everything we do, which 

is why reducing aviation safety risk 

remains a top priority. Aviation 

passengers expect and deserve the same 

level of safety wherever they fly. Over 

the past two decades, commercial 

aviation fatalities in the U.S. have 

decreased significantly. As a result of 

recent aviation incidents, we are taking 

a critical look at the U.S. aerospace 

system’s structure, culture, processes, 

systems, and integration of safety 

efforts. 

We released our first Equity Action 

Plan in FY 2022, and we have updated 

it annually since then.13 The Equity 

Action Plan highlights work that we are 

undertaking, focused on wealth 

creation, power of community, 

interventions, and expanding access. 

The Equity Action Plan is a major 

milestone for the DOT and represents a 

shift in how we view and deliver 

transportation programs. 

The U.S. National Blueprint for 

Transportation Decarbonization is a 

first-of-its-kind strategy for federal 

leadership and partnerships to 

decarbonize the entire U.S. 

transportation sector.14 Released in 

January 2023, the plan represents 

coordinated efforts between the 

departments of Transportation, Energy, 

Housing and Urban Development, and 

the Environmental Protection Agency to 

create a framework of strategies and 

actions to remove all emissions from the 

transportation sector by 2050. 

Purpose of This Request for 

Information 

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit 

information regarding new research and 

data priorities that should be considered 

for incorporation into the Learning 

Agenda Supplement, as well as 

adjustments to existing research and 

data priorities. 

Through this RFI, we are asking 

interested persons, including 

stakeholders across public and private 

sectors who may be familiar with or 

interested in the work of our agency, for 

input on evidence-building activities 

that inform important priorities for our 

agency, including those that are also 

related to the President’s broader 

priorities available at https://

www.whitehouse.gov/priorities/. We 

also seek input on future projects that 

will advance our mission. 

We will analyze information collected 

from this RFI to inform the development 

of the Learning Agenda Supplement. 

This RFI is for information and planning 

purposes only and should not be 

construed as a solicitation or as an 

obligation on our part. We will not 

respond to comments we receive in 

response to this RFI but will use the 

input to develop the Learning Agenda 

Supplement. 

Specific Information Requested 

We invite suggestions in various 

forms—as key questions to be answered, 

hypotheses to be tested, or problems to 

be investigated—that are focused on any 

area of our mission. The responses to 

this RFI will inform our ongoing 

updates and revisions to priorities that 

guide evidence-building activities. 

We are particularly interested in 

receiving input from interested parties 

on the questions outlined below. In 

responding to these questions, 

interested parties should reference the 

Learning Agenda for FY 2022–2026, 

available at https:// 

www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/ 

files/2022-03/DOT_Learning_

Agenda.pdf. 

1. Are there new priority learning 

questions (i.e., not already included in 

the DOT Learning Agenda) that reflect 

emerging or unanticipated needs and 

knowledge gaps and that, if answered, 

could help advance DOT’s mission? 

2. Are there new priority data needs 

(i.e., not already included in the DOT 

Learning Agenda) that reflect emerging 

or unanticipated needs and knowledge 

gaps and that, if addressed, could help 

advance DOT’s mission? 

3. Does the DOT Learning Agenda 

contain learning questions or data 

priorities that need to be adjusted either 

because priorities have shifted or 

because they have been addressed 

through evidence-building activities by 

DOT or others?
