Communication

Three ADOT projects won big in a national competition last week, but the agency was also recognized in another contest.

After almost 800 posts, it’s time to change the way we do things here on the ADOT Blog.

We covered a lot of topics in 2015 and we thought it'd be fun to examine the top 10 things we learned last year.

On Sept. 30, awards were announced for the TransComm 2014 Skills Contest and we’re very happy to report that ADOT’s communications team took home several honors.

Back in May of 1980, ADOT marked National Transportation Week with this outstanding exhibit that was displayed inside Phoenix's Central Library.

ADOT has been recognized for its communications efforts with six national awards, winning first-place honors in every skills contest the agency competed in.

If you’re reading this post it means you’ve found the ADOT Blog’s new home! So, what do you think? We really like the new space and hope you’ll take some time to look around and see how the entire ADOT website has been redesigned with you in mind.

Last week, when we shared with you the long-term repair solution that has been proposed for US 89, we explained how experts studied the area for months and put together a comprehensive report that includes a major amount of geological data (seriously, the report is 463 pages).

The geotechnical investigation on US 89 (you know – that one we’ve been blogging about since February) is complete and we’re thrilled to share news of the results.

Don’t know how closely you’ve been tracking ADOT’s Twitter feed lately, but something big just happened over there. At about 7 a.m. today, ADOT’s 20,000th Tweet went out to the masses!

There’s no cookie-cutter approach when it comes to getting the word out on an upcoming ADOT project … The method (or more likely, methods) used to communicate with the public depends on the plans, location and a host of other factors.

If you haven't yet heard, last Friday night WSDOT closed the Alaskan Way viaduct -- one of the two main north-south freeways through downtown Seattle -- for demolition and ultimate replacement with a waterfront tunnel.
