The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is a Nevada state government agency in the civil engineering sector responsible for planning, constructing, operating, and maintaining the state's transportation system, including highways and related infrastructure. It oversees about 5,400 miles of highway and over 1,000 bridges, with its headquarters in Carson City and district offices in Las Vegas, Reno, and Elko, along with major maintenance stations in Ely, Tonopah, and Winnemucca. The department is divided into three districts, each led by a district engineer and assistant engineers, and it is overseen by a seven-member Board of Directors and Senior Staff. It also manages allied projects such as the Adopt-a-Highway program and the maintenance of State Historical Markers, and it supports an integrated transportation approach that includes rail, bike, air, and bus travel. NDOT traces its history to 1917 when it was established as the Nevada Department of Highways after legislation that created a roadway program under the supervision of the state engineer. The agency employs between 501 and 1,000 people and is located at 1263 South Stewart Street in Carson City, Nevada, with a website at dot.nv.gov.
