ADOT’s vision is safely connecting people and empowering Arizona’s economy. That includes those attention-grabbing and often humorous messages that appear when overhead message boards aren’t being used for other purposes. In the latest episode of our podcast, On the Road with ADOT, we talk safety messaging.
The first round of electric vehicle charging stations will open by the end of 2025, with 21 locations along interstates. That’s just the start. ADOT is already looking at another 38 or so charging stations to be built the following year or two.

2025? Who's thinking about 2025 yet? You are probably getting used to this new year and still putting down 2023 for the date before quickly correcting it. So 2025 may seem like it is way off in the distance. But next year – yes, 2025 is next year – is when the federal government will begin requiring enhanced identification for commercial air travel.

Where we are going, we need safe roads.

Here at ADOT, we love to celebrate National Engineers Week. It serves as a gentle reminder to highlight and recognize the importance that engineers play in building Arizona's roads and keeping everyone safe. 

During National Engineers Week, Feb. 18-24, we’re asking engineers on some of ADOT’s projects to share with us stories about their work and careers. Today, meet Sara Howard from the Loop 101 Princess Drive to Shea Boulevard Improvement Project in Scottsdale. Howard is a Senior Resident Engineer in heavy civil construction and transportation.

When you drive past an active highway construction zone, you may see people operating heavy equipment. You might not see the people that work behind the scenes to ensure that those projects run smoothly. Cordell Yazzie is one of those people.
ADOT Director Jennifer Toth shares her path to becoming to an engineer and celebrates the work done by engineers of all disciplines.
