1: Formulating the DOT Open Government Plan
Design an Open Government framework to guide the development of our Open Government Plan. Other Information:
The DOT began preparing for the OMB Open Government Directive by designing an Open Government framework to guide the development
of our Open Government Plan. This framework, described in detail on the DOT Web site at http://www.dot.gov/open/, enabled
us to quickly identify planning steps; analyze and address the relevant technology, policy, and cultural issues that would
impact Open Government activities; and get the best-suited people involved in Open Government efforts from the very beginning.
Executive sponsors combined with representation from across the Department and across disciplinary fields (i.e., policy, legal,
technical) to sustain agency-wide attention to Open Government activities throughout the planning period. The DOT also convened
an Open Government Executive Steering Group to oversee the creation of the plan and assign working groups and sub-groups to
focus on specific requirements within the Open Government Directive. Overall, nearly 200 DOT employees participated in the
effort. The DOT will share materials and tools relating to our Open Government framework on the DOT Open Government Web site
at http://www.dot.gov/open/ and the OMB MAX portal. Email: open@dot.gov
