Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure

Overview

Appropriates $20,000,000 from the state General Fund (GF) in FY 2024 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to distribute to Navajo County to reconstruct the Little Colorado River Levee at the City of Winslow.

History

Laws 1973, Chapter 146 established ADOT to provide for an integrated and balanced state transportation system with a director responsible for the department's administration (A.R.S. § 28-331). ADOT has exclusive control and jurisdiction over state highways, state routes, state-owned airports and all state-owned transportation systems or modes are vested in ADOT.

The duties of ADOT are as follows: 1) register motor vehicles and aircraft, license drivers, collect revenues, enforce motor vehicle and aviation statutes and perform related functions; 2) do multimodal state transportation planning, cooperate and coordinate transportation planning with local governments and establish an annually updated priority program of capital improvements for all transportation modes; 3) design and construct transportation facilities in accordance with a priority plan and maintain and operate state highways, state-owned airports and state public transportation systems; 4) investigate new transportation systems and cooperate with and advise local governments concerning the development and operation of public transit systems; and 5) have administrative jurisdiction of transportation safety programs and implement them following applicable law (A.R.S. § 28-332).

If flood waters of a river, creek, channel or canyon injure or threaten to injure a highway, public property, public road or become a menace to human life and habitation, the county board of supervisors is permitted to build dikes, levees or other structures or aid in the construction of such works to control the flood waters or lessen their destructive effects (A.R.S. § 11-257).
