The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is the organization in charge of developing and maintaining all state and federal roadways in the state of Georgia. In addition to highways, the department also helps develop public transportation and public aviation programs. GDOT is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia and is part of the executive branch of state government.[2]

GDOT has broken up the state of Georgia into seven districts in order to facilitate regional development. Each district is responsible for the planning, design, construction and maintenance of the state and federal highways in their region.

[edit] History

[edit] Origins

An act of the Legislature created the State Highway Department on August 16, 1916. Later, in 1972, it was followed by the creation of the Georgia Department of Transportation.[1]

[edit] Department management

Georgia DOT is governed by a 13-member State Transportation Board that is elected by the Georgia General Assembly for a five-year[3] term and is headed by a commissioner chosen from among the board members[4]. The board's powers include designating which public roads are encompassed within the state highway system; approving long-range transportation plans; overseeing the administration of construction contracts; and authorizing lease agreements. Offices within the board, other than Commissioner, are Deputy Commissioner; Chief Engineer and Treasurer.[5]

The Georgia Department of Transportation has several different divisions. They include:

  • Division of Administration
  • Chief Engineer
  • Communications Division
  • Division of Construction
  • Division of Equal Employment Opportunity
  • Division of Field Districts
  • Division of Information Technology
  • Division Legal Services
