Article 1, Section 8:

The Congress shall have the power...

to regulate commerce... among the several state;

to establish post offices and post roads;

"Regulate commerce" has been interpreted to mean either to control interstate commerce or to keep it regular. I think the latter interpretation is correct and consistent with the writings of the founders. So keeping interstate commerce regular means building interstate highways. Then there's also the power to establish "post roads", that's just a road built for the purpose of transporting post. So I do think the Department of Transport is one of the only ones that actually is constitutional. Though that's not to say it couldn't be reduced in size and scope.
