Laws 1973, Chapter 146 established ADOT to provide for an integrated and balanced 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).
The county board of supervisors may alter, establish or abandon a highway within the county and
acquire property for those purposes by purchase, donation, condemnation, dedication or other
