Oklahoma Department of Transportation Public Meetings |
Introduction
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) is interested in your opinion. ODOT is conducting a survey requesting help to understand the concerns of the disability community regarding their programs, services, and activities. In doing so, ODOT would like to ask you to answer the questions below to help receive a better understanding of how a relationship that benefits both parties can be improved.
ODOT is an agency of the government of Oklahoma responsible for the construction, maintenance, and regulation of the state's transportation infrastructure. Under the leadership of the Oklahoma Secretary of Transportation, ODOT maintains public infrastructure that includes rail lines and state highways. Along with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority, ODOT is the primary infrastructure construction and maintenance agency of the State. ODOT was created in 1976 during the term of Governor David L. Boren. It superseded the Department of Highways, which was established in 1911.
ODOT is led by a State Transportation Commission, composed of nine members appointed by the Governor of Oklahoma, with the approval of the Oklahoma Senate. The Commission in turn appoints a Director, who serves as the executive head of the Department. Gary Ridley serves as the Secretary of Transportation, as appointed by Governor Brad Henry in 2009 and reappointed by Governor Mary Fallin in 2011.
ODOT's mission statement is "The mission of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation is to provide a safe, economical and effective transportation network for the people, commerce and communities of Oklahoma."
The Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT) ensures that no person or groups of persons shall, on the grounds of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, retaliation or genetic information, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under any and all programs, services, or activities administered by ODOT, its recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors.
