Privacy - FHWA - UPACS - PIA - 2024.pdf

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), has been given the responsibility of enhancing the movement of people and goods from one place to another, while also ensuring the safety of the traveling public, promoting the efficiency of the transportation system, and protecting the environment. To meet these goals, FHWA maintains effective communication with other federal agencies, state and local organizations, and members of Congress. With privacy and security always foremost in mind, as FHWA automated much of this information sharing, it also implemented strict safeguards to protect against unauthorized or unintentional information exchange. The User Profile and Access Control System (UPACS) is one system that helps FHWA accomplish this. This Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) is being published in accordance with the E-Government Act of 2002.

DOT is committed to ensuring that information is available in appropriate alternative formats to meet the requirements of persons who have a disability. If you require an alternative version of files provided on this page, please contact Privacy@dot.gov.
