Organization and Modes Served

Most state DOTs are organized by divisions or organizational units based on functional activities such as administration, finance, planning, engineering, operations or construction. Some, however, are organized to include distinct bureaus or divisions that serve non-highway modes such as rail, public transit, aviation, ferries and ports. In Delaware, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island and Virginia, non-highway modes are handled by entities that are at least partially independent of the DOT4
