To expedite the processing of requests, please write to the NDOT Records Officer (Room 101), 1263 South Stewart Street, Carson City, NV 89712 or e-mail NDOT at PublicRecordsRequests@dot.state.nv.us. The NDOT Public Records Request Form may be hand-delivered as well. Typewritten requests are preferred and should be as specific as possible and include the requestor’s contact information (preferably with your mailing address and phone number). Pursuant to NRS Chapter 239.0107, we will acknowledge receipt of your request within five business days and provide you a status report and a point of contact. Some requests may require more than five days to process, and we may need to contact you for clarification, set-up an on-site viewing of the records, or charge fees for copies and staff time (NRS 239.055).

Please note: Subpoena duces tecums may also be delivered to the above address. Active NDOT contractors, consultants and vendors requiring records related to their current contract need not submit a Public Records Request; contact your NDOT staff representative directly.  

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. Or, a paper copy of the plan can be obtained by contacting or visiting the Contract Compliance Office at:

Nevada Department of Transportation

1263 South Stewart Street

Carson City NV 89712

You may also contact the Contract Compliance Office at (775) 888-7497, Yvonne Schuman, Civil Rights Officer at (702) 730-3301 or Roc A. Stacey, Contract Compliance Manager at (775) 888-7229. 

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