We oversee the day-to-day needs of maintaining our state's highway system, including:
- 20,679 highway lane miles (includes ramps, collectors and special use lanes).
- More than 3,000 bridges.
- 1,100 traffic signal systems.
- 10 major mountain passes kept open all year.

Slow down – lives are on the line.
Drive the posted speeds, they’re there for your safety.
Phone down, eyes up.
Pay attention – both to workers directing you and to surrounding traffic.
Stay calm
Expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no appointment is worth risking someone’s life.
