WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy announced today the launch of the USDOT Freedom 250 website as part of a once-in-a-generation celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary led by President Donald J. Trump.

The USDOT Freedom 250 website tracks the Department’s upcoming commemorative events, showcases the official Freedom 250 brand tool kit, and highlights fun opportunities for Americans to travel the country to experience the rich history and beauty of our nation. This effort celebrates the critical role transportation has played and will continue to play in the growth of our nation—connecting Americans for a quarter of a millennium.

“2026 isn’t just another year – it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate 250 years of American greatness. At DOT, that means highlighting how we’ve propelled the nation forward and encouraging families to enjoy all the beautiful places America has to offer.
