December is drawing to a close and the holidays are in full swing. Countless Arizonans are traveling to gather with family and friends, and it’s a great time to remind motorists about safe driving practices.

If you’re out on the highways this week, you may notice holiday-themed traffic safety messages on our overhead message signs leading up to Christmas and Hanukkah. 

This episode of On the Road With ADOT features Anthony Casselman, who is relatively new in his role as administrator for ADOT's Southcentral District. He chats with Doug Nintzel about what a district administrator does, how ADOT's maintenance and construction districts operate, and large improvement projects underway and planned in his district. 

Couches, fridges, mattresses, oh my!

These aren’t just high-dollar items on sale this holiday season — they’re the objects that we see frequently dropped on highways because they weren’t secured properly. Sometimes these appliances and furniture are brand new, going home from the store.

It was an exhilarating scene at the North Phoenix Baptist Church at Central and Montebello avenues on a Saturday in December as Santa, elves and even a Grinch scurried around to prepare their floats for the annual APS Electric Light Parade.

ADOT Kids produced activities designed to engage children and, we hope, inspire the next generation of transportation professionals. Spend a few minutes with the ADOT professionals behind this important effort.
