U.S. DOT social media campaign aims to improve infrastructure

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) announced that it's putting pressure on elected leaders with the hashtag #ShowUsYourInfraWear, which encourages people to take a picture of aging, deteriorating roads and bridges, and then Tweet or Instagram it using the hashtag and U.S. DOT handle, @USDOT, CBS 5 reported.
