VDOT's Organization
As of Dec. 1, 2007, VDOT employed about 8,500 people full time, compared to 10,380 at the close of Fiscal Year 2001. That’s the lowest level since 1965.
The agency has nine highway districts:
- Bristol
- Culpeper
- Fredericksburg
- Hampton Roads
- Lynchburg
- Northern Virginia
- Richmond
- Salem
- Staunton
The districts are divided into 42 residencies and two district satellite offices, responsible for one to four counties each. Each of Virginia's counties has at least one area maintenance headquarters strategically located in it.
The
VDOT Central Office in Richmond is headquarters for approximately 30 operational
and administrative units.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board guides the department's work, much like a board of directors. The Secretary of Transportation serves as chairman and the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner as vice-chairman.
The 17 board members are appointed by the governor and approved by the General Assembly. The director of the Department of Rail and Public Transportation also serves as a non-voting member. M eetings are usually held monthly and are open to the public.
