• Abstract:
  Within West Virginia, major transportation systems have been developed to facilitate the movement of people and goods to and from homes to businesses and markets, and to promote economic development and tourism. The existing systems consist of a network of highways, railroads, waterways and airports, and, to a lesser extent, motorized and non-motorized trails. The West Virginia Department of Transportation (MWDOT) was created in 1989 as a means to coordinate the planning and development of such systems under one State agency. The individual agencies that compose the WVDOT are the Division of Highways (WVDOH), the Division of Motor Vehicles (WVDMV), the Division of Public Transit (WVDPT), the Aeronautics Commission, the Public Port Authority, the State Rail Authority (WVSRA), and the Parkways, Economic Development and Tourism Authority (WVPEDTA). The mission of the WVDOT is to fulfill transportation needs in varying degrees for the different modes. Meeting these needs effectively, efficiently,and safely is facilitated by a planning process which establishes goals, estimates the costs of achieving these goals (needs) and proposes means to meet them by provision and allocation of fiscal resources. The development of current transportation policies has evolved through numerous planning studies, public participation efforts, and national and State legislative mandates.
