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.  

The public is invited to attend meetings at their convenience during scheduled meeting hours. Please submit comments to get more information or comment about NDOT's public Meetings, Hearings and Notices.

Our public information officers can be reached at (775) 888-7777 in Carson City or (702) 385-6504 in Las Vegas.  

A web brochure describing rules and regulations governing the placement of political signs adjacent to state highways is available here.  

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 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.
