State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs)

State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) are government agencies responsible for planning, building, maintaining, and operating a state's transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and public transit systems. They ensure safe and efficient travel within the state, manage transportation policies, and allocate funding for projects. State DOTs collaborate with federal agencies, local governments, and contractors to improve mobility, reduce congestion, and enhance safety for all travelers. They play a crucial role in supporting economic development and the quality of life by maintaining a reliable transportation network.
