New York State Department of Transportation

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) plays a vital role in managing and maintaining the state’s vast transportation infrastructure. Serving communities across the state, NYSDOT is responsible for the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of over 113,000 miles of roadway and nearly 18,000 bridges. The department is also actively involved in ensuring the safety and efficiency of public transportation systems, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, aviation, rail transit, and ports. NYSDOT supports economic development and environmental sustainability by improving mobility and reducing congestion throughout New York.

One of its notable contributions includes community-based programs that promote traffic safety and public awareness on highway conditions. NYSDOT is also invested in innovative technologies, such as intelligent transportation systems (ITS), to enhance real-time traffic information and emergency response coordination. By collaborating with local municipalities, other state agencies, and the Federal Highway Administration, NYSDOT strives to ensure seamless and safe mobility for all New Yorkers. The department’s commitment to maintaining vital infrastructure while planning for future transportation needs positions it as a cornerstone for regional growth and public service.
