The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is a multimodal agency with statewide responsibilities in roadways, aviation, public transit, waterways, and railroads. The mission of TDOT is to provide a safe and reliable transportation system for people, goods, and services that supports economic prosperity in Tennessee.
Major responsibilities
The major duties and responsibilities of TDOT are:
administer funding and provide technical assistance in the planning and construction of state and federal aid road programs for cities and counties;
provide incident management on Tennessee’s Interstate system through TDOT SmartWay, an intelligent transportation network of cameras and dynamic message signs;
staff transportation management centers in the four largest urban cities in Tennessee;
provide motorist information;
construct and maintain 19rest area facilities and 17welcome centers;
Like the majority of state government agencies, Caltrans is headquartered in Sacramento.
History
The earliest predecessor of Caltrans was the Bureau of Highways, which was created by the California Legislature and signed into law by Governor James Budd in 1895. This agency consisted of three commissioners who were charged with analyzing the state road system and making recommendations. At the time, there was no state highway system, since roads were purely a local responsibility. California's roads consisted of crude dirt roads maintained by county governments, as well as some paved roads within city boundaries, and this ad hoc system was no longer adequate for the needs of the state's rapidly growing population. After the commissioners submitted their report to the governor on November 25, 1896, the legislature replaced the Bureau with the Department of Highways.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT or WashDOT) was established in 1905. The agency, led by a Secretary and overseen by the Governor, is a Washington governmental agency that constructs, maintains, and regulates the use of the state's transportation infrastructure. WSDOT is responsible for more than 20,000 lane-miles of roadway, nearly 3,000 vehicular bridges and 524 other structures. This infrastructure includes rail lines, state highways, state ferries (considered part of the highway system) and state airports
History
WSDOT was originally founded as the Washington State Highway Board and the Washington State Highways Department on March 13, 1905, when then-governor Albert Mead signed a bill that gave $110,000 USD to fund new roads that linked the state. The State Highway Board was managed by State Treasurer, State Auditor, and Highway Commissioner Joseph M. Snow and the Board first met on April 17, 1905 to plan the 12 original state roads. The first state highway districts, each managed by a District Engineer, were established in 1918. During this period, the construction of highways began.
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is an agency of the state government of Utah, United States; it is usually referred to by its initials UDOT (pronounced "you-dot"). UDOT is charged with maintaining the more than 6,000 miles (9,700km) of roadway that constitute the network of state highways in Utah. The agency is headquartered in the Calvin L. Rampton state office complex in Taylorsville, Utah.
The Executive Director is Carlos Braceras and the Deputy Director is Shane Marshall. Project priorities are set forth by the independent Utah Transportation Commission, which coordinates directly with the UDOT's executive director.
Structure
UDOT maintains over 6,000 miles (9,700km) of highways. The department strategic goals include preserve infrastructure, optimize mobility, zero fatalities and strengthen the economy. While the agency has maintenance stations throughout the state, for organizational purposes they are grouped into four regions.
