ADOT Kids

ADOT's engineers get a lot of attention, but there is a huge variety of employees at the agency helping people getting home safely!

Babak Dehghani tells us what's like being part of ADOT's Engineer-In-Training Program.

Engineers are an important part of what ADOT does. This is why one engineer loves her job.

PHOENIX – When many school children started staying home when the pandemic hit last year, the Arizona Department of Transportation launched a new outreach campaign called “ADOT Kids,” which seeks to educate children on transportation through videos, games and activities geared for them.

Have you thought about being an engineer when you grow up? At ADOT, we have many different types, all doing important work!

National Engineers Week starts February 22, and ADOT Kids is ready to celebrate by showing what a career in engineering could mean!

Hey, ADOT Kids, you see signs all the time, but do you know how they are made?

Signs are everywhere along the road, but did you know that ADOT has its very own shop to make them?

Looking to keep the kids occupied between Christmas and New Year's? Then ADOT Kids might be the resource for you! Fun and educational, it's perfect for budding engineers. 

Yes, it snows in Arizona, so it's time to start thinking about snowplows! Learn more about how ADOT uses these incredible machines.

We may not be able to hang it up on a refrigerator like some of the art we've received, but ADOT Kids was recently recognized for explaining transportation to a general audience during the public health situation. 

Looking for kid-friendly activities for your next road trip? We are here to help!

In addition to learning more about monsoon season safety, we're encouraging you to create your own sign to keep people from driving into a dangerous dust storm.

How long is the South Mountain Freeway? How wide are the lanes? How did we set the speed limit? ADOT Kids asked, and we answer. Plus we share everyone's freeway designs. 

If you love construction, work zones and freeways, we have a word search and maze for you to complete.

Please take our quiz and then see how well your parents or friends can do.

Every one of these creative messages showed how much you all care about keeping Arizona safe. We had a great time reading them. 

Imagine the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway without any designs on its bridges, ramps and sound walls? What drawings and colors would you use? What plants would line the roadway? This activity makes you the designer. 

We hope an ADOT calendar featuring drawings and messages by children and grandchildren of our employees inspires you to find even more ways to promote safety where you live.
