The Secretary of Transportation Outstanding Unit Award was a U.S. government unit decoration which was established in 1992. The Presidential Unit Citation and Joint Meritorious Unit Award were considered senior to the Secretary of Transportation Outstanding Unit Award. Additional awards of the decoration were denoted by gold award stars. The only post-2003 issuance of the award appears to be in 2006 when President George W. Bush awarded it to the United States Merchant Marine Academy, marking the first Presidential commencement in that academy's history.
