West Valley drivers have, no doubt, already noticed there’s a lot happening over on the I-10/Loop 303 interchange project, but for the rest of you, we thought we’d provide a quick update…

Social media is all about being social, which is exactly why we enjoy our Facebook page so much…

ADOT and its employees earned honors at the AAMVA 2012 International Conference held last month in North Carolina...

Construction had only recently started back when we first checked in on the SR 64 highway improvement project… That was about a year ago. Since then, well, just take a look at the video above and see for yourself how much this project has transformed the area’s landscape!

To say that ADOT crews were busy Tuesday would be a bit of an understatement. Heavy overnight and morning rains across the state started the day off with extremely slow commutes throughout the metro areas … but nothing like the messes that would happen later in the day …

In the world of transportation, rarely does anything stay the same.

It may look like something out of the latest hi-tech spy movie, but our newly refurbished Traffic Operations Center is wonderfully real. This state-of-the-art electronic data hub is located in Phoenix and allows ADOT staff to keep a watchful eye on traffic conditions around the state.

What is a roadway departure crash? By definition, a roadway departure crash is a non-intersection crash that occurs after a vehicle crosses an edge line or a centerline, or otherwise leaves the traveled way.

Hard to believe, but 10 years have passed since the first AMBER Alert was issued in Arizona… In that time, 70 AMBER Alerts have been issued in the state and all but one – the ongoing Jhessye Shockley case – were resolved successfully through a partnership between local radio and television broadcasters, law enforcement, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the Arizona Department of Transportation and the public.

We’ve got a blog post coming up real soon that’s going to focus on Dynamic Message Signs (Don’t know what those are? Keep reading!).

We don’t normally talk about ourselves – the ADOT Communications Team – on this blog. We like it that way … but today we’re so excited that we’ve just got to tell you about a few honors our team received yesterday.

Public involvement truly helps shape ADOT projects … just ask residents living near the San Pedro River Bridge

If you’re in the market for a new license plate we’ve got some good news for you – two new options are now available to consider!

A new opportunity to voice your opinion… ADOT is again calling on the public to provide input. We want to know what you think of the seven alternatives that have been selected for further study.

Winter is coming… Maybe that’s hard to believe if you live in hotter regions of the state, but residents up north already are starting to experience chillier temperatures.

ADOT snowplow drivers and support staff already are preparing for the icy, cold months ahead… And, yes, ADOT has snowplow drivers – the state isn’t all desert! Arizona winters always bring plenty of storms to keep our crews busy … remember this doozy from March?

You already know that ADOT works alongside other emergency response agencies to clear the road after a major incident. However, we have never really touched on the important role ADOT’s HAZMAT specialists play in making the road safe again for drivers.

Driven the Loop 303 lately? If you have, you know things are looking very different than they did about a year ago.

ADOT’s Research Center recently published an interesting new report that takes a closer look at the relationships among land use, transportation and gridlock.
