The goal of the Statewide Transportation Planning Public Participation Process is to foster communication between all interested parties and NDOT. The ability to exchange ideas freely is the cornerstone of this philosophy. The process is defined in detail and a supplemental index is included for your review.

NDOT has developed a Title VI plan to assure that services, programs and activities of the Department are offered, conducted and administered fairly, without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, age, disability, economic status, or ability to communicate in English of the participants or beneficiaries.

The Nevada Department of Transportation has modified our Title VI plan and is presenting that plan to the public. The plan is available through this link. The accompanying Public Involvement Policy is available here. Or, a paper copy of the plan can be obtained by contacting or visiting:

Every transportation decision affects somebody. NDOT is committed to public involvement in the myriad of transportation projects, plans, and studies currently underway across Nevada. Our Public Involvement Plan provides an outline of the public outreach processes and tools that will be the building blocks for successful public involvement in the transportation projects and programs of today and the future.

NDOT operates an Adopt-A-Highway program for litter removal on most state highways for individuals and community service groups. A Sponsor-A-Highway litter removal program is also available on high-traffic volume urban freeways in the Las Vegas and Reno areas. Firms and organizations seeking recognition for community service may select from three qualified litter removal services for twice monthly litter removal on sections of Las Vegas and Reno area freeways.

NDOT is reaching out to the public for assistance with identifying and reporting illicit drainages/discharges within the Department’s state road right-of-way. Learn more about what illicit discharge is on our illicit discharge reporting page. If a potential illicit discharge is identified within NDOT's right-of-way, contact NDOT Environmental Services, Water Quality Section at (775) 888-7013.

Transportation alternatives are transportation-related activities designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic, and environmental aspects of the Nation’s intermodal transportation system. The Transportation Alternatives Program provides for the implementation of a variety of non-traditional projects, such as the restoration of historic transportation facilities, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, scenic beautification, and mitigation of water pollution from highway runoff.
