From the Director

Our director, John Halikowski, explains the meaning behind our two-word Truth North statement: Safely Home

When is ADOT going to widen Interstate 10 as you travel from Phoenix toward Casa Grande? What is ADOT doing to have an alternate route between Phoenix and Tucson? What is to be done with traffic congestion at the Broadway Curve? I have heard these questions more than once in my time at the Arizona Department of Transportation. Well, I have news to share that ADOT is in the midst of several important transportation studies to answer these questions and more.

ADOT's Motor Vehicle Division is getting a new computer system, which will eventually help us to better serve Arizona drivers.

With fiscal year 2019 now behind us, ADOT Director John Halikowski talks about what the agency has crossed off it's to-do list.

Drive safely on the roads this week. Make your dog proud.

It's almost monsoon season, which also means dust storms. Our director shares his thoughts about safe driving during this time of year.

ADOT Director John Halikowski explains why everyone needs to realize the importance of infrastructure and protect its value by making investments for the future.

The entries are reminders that the best way to make roads safer is changing our own driving habits and encouraging those around us to change theirs.

During Work Zone Awareness Week, we are doing our best again to engage the public about how to stay safe in work zones.

I value input from the public in this important step as we continue to study I-11.

ADOT has issued a Request For Proposals for a design concept report and environmental study of I-10 between Phoenix and Casa Grande.

It's important to give of ourselves this holiday season - whether mentoring, being prepared when traveling, or helping a stranded motorist.

Our commitment to improving safety and mobility between Phoenix and Tucson is evident in past, present and future projects.

For example, we're investing another $155 million for improvements to US 93 over the next five years.

These men and women are highly trained individuals, especially in traffic incident management procedures and techniques.

The recent emergency repairs to US 89 in northern Arizona illustrate the importance of partnerships.

With almost two years to go before travel requirements change on Oct. 1, 2020, we're urging Arizonans to consider getting the Travel ID now if they plan to fly commercially or visit federal buildings.

Our International Border Inspection Qualification program has made a dramatic difference for truck drivers and trucking firms in Mexico, and for international commerce.

Last night’s events on Interstate 10 in the West Valley are so absolutely unacceptable, so outrageous, that words can’t do justice to emotions.

ADOT joins other DOTs in seeking a federal grant to develop a program alerting commercial truck drivers to available public parking at I-10 rest areas.
