The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) is an Agency of the State of New Mexico based out of Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.

Our mission is to provide a safe and efficient transportation system for the traveling public, while promoting economic development and preserving the environment of New Mexico.

Multimodal transportation choices invigorate the economy and connect people in small towns and cities and facilitate transportation of goods and people to other states and nations. NMDOT focuses on the following modes of travel: transit, rail, aviation and highways. We've strengthened our commitment to traffic safety, environmental excellence, and complete planning, design and engineering services.

New Mexico Statehood in 1912 led to the creation of the State Highway Commission, which provided broader powers and duties than the Territorial Commission. These powers and duties included the authority to meet with counties, towns, and villages to plan and advise on road and bridge construction; to provide for testing and development of road materials and experimental road work; to plan and construct a state system of roads; and to create county road boards to transfer all county road and bridge work. By the end of 1912, all 26 county boards were established, and functioning smoothly by 1913.
