The Mission of the Hopetopia Transportation Department is to ensure our citizens and goods have the safest way of transportation. We also want to establish that all of our citizens are going to their place of work, school, etc. in a timely and efficient manner. The Transportation Department is committed to expanding our public transportation use to lessen the waste that Hopetopia contributes into the atmosphere. We would also want to make sure that the transportation for all citizens in Hopetopia has roads, bridges, and sidewalks that are up to safety regulations. Overall we would like for their transportation experience to make them feel safe both inside the public vehicle and with the vehicle itself.
