Leading Practices in Modifying Agency Organization And Management To Accommodate Changing Transportation System Technologies by NCHRP
Publication Date: 2020
This domestic scan investigated how DOTs are changing their organizations, institutional arrangements, and management practices to improve transportation system performance through adoption of new technologies. A diverse scan team—drawn from maintenance, operations, and traffic engineering—was tasked to review the experience of DOTs or other agencies that have been notably successful in their adoption of new technologies for integrated corridor management, traffic incident management, and road-weather management, to explore the institutional and management changes credited for the success and to extract lessons that can inform other agencies’ development.

State DOT Mission Evolution by HNTB Corporation/AASHTO
Publication Date: 2013
“In examining 30 DOT organizational charts available on their websites, the overriding conclusion is that their similarity derives from a structure necessitated by the federal funding that states receive. All had at least a CEO and finance, highway operations, planning, engineering & construction, and intermodal offices. There was a great deal of variability in what DOTs chose to publish in their organizational chart: a few chose to disclose very few positions; others, such as the Idaho DOT, decided on extensive disclosure. Fortunately, the bulk of DOTs chose to display enough to get a sense of their organizational priorities"--Abstract. No links or charts are included in the publication.
NCHRP Project 20-24(83): Alternative DOT Organizational Models for Delivering Service by AASHTO/Subcommittee on Organizational Management
Publication Date: 2012
“This report provides a big picture snapshot of why and how DOT leaders are re-designing their organizations. It includes a discussion of the primary drivers of these changes, characterizes the current state of DOT organizational design, describes the prominent organizational adaptations DOTs are making or plan to make, presents a new organizational ideal for DOTs, and offers observations about key success factors for initiating meaningful organizational change ... "Despite the strong interest among DOTs in workflow-based organizations, most of the DOT leaders we spoke with do not foresee major changes in the functional ‘boxes’ on their organizational charts. Rather, they are – as Michigan DOT’s Kirk Steudle describes it –‘poking holes in the silos’ to encourage the kind of benefits that a workflow-based structure generates”--Abstract.

State DOT and Related Industry Organizational Structures and Best Practice: Synthesis
Publication Date: 2009
By Washington State Department of Transportation, Office of Research & Library Services
From Abstract: Included are examples of organizational structures and practice from industry that reflect a similar type of work (planning, design, construction, etc. as well as a short summary of how-to guidance and reflection of common (or not) patterns in organizations. The synthesis includes a PDF of the organizational charts from the 50 state DOTs and DC. Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and South Carolina are not included as they did not have current charts or lacked versions representative of their organizations. While there are differences between the functional distributions in state DOTs, there are many similarities. Most DOTs have regions or districts though the number and reporting structure vary. Functional responsibilities are similar though organized differently. Modal responsibilities vary. Without specific questions about the organizations, a comparison is quickly unwieldy.

Today’s DOT and the Quest for More Accountable Organizational Structures by Kentucky Transportation Center
Publication Date: 2005
“This study investigates the impact of Department of Transportation (DOT) organizational structures on effective transportation planning and performance. A review of the 50 state DOT authorizing statutes and DOT organizational charts found minimal differences in organizational structures among the states. However, 37 states have quasi-independent commissions (sometimes called boards, or councils)”--Abstract.
