BloggersBlog.com is reporting that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has launched a new blog called Fast Lane. The blog was launched by Transportation Secretary Mary E. Peters. Here is an excerpt from Peters' welcome post.

Welcome to the Department of Transportation's blog, Fast Lane.

This new opportunity will allow me and others here at the Department to speak with you and engage in an earnest conversation about our nation's transportation system...and, I hope, have a little fun while we're doing it.

I want the Fast Lane to be a true on-line community, and I encourage you to submit your comments and thoughts. After all, if I'm going to insist on twenty-first century solutions for our transportation system, I better communicate in a twenty-first century way!

Our entire transportation system is at a critical point in its evolution, and I am excited about the transformation taking place every day. I can't wait to begin sharing with you the innovative things we are doing at the Department to make our roads, skies, rails, and seaways safer and more efficient.

The blog has already featured guest blog posts from Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and Virginia Governor Tim Kaine. There have only been a few comments next to each post so far but that number is likely to grow as more people learn about the new blog.
