The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) is an agency of the U.S. state of Delaware. The Secretary of Transportation is Shailen Bhatt.[1] The agency has its headquarters in Dover.[2]

The department's responsibilities include maintaining about 90 percent of the state's public roadways, overseeing the "Adopt-A-Highway" program, snow removal, the Division of Motor Vehicles and the Delaware Transit Corporation (known as DART First State).

The DART public transit system was named "Most Outstanding Public Transportation System" in 2003 by the American Public Transportation Association.[3]

DelDOT maintains a 24/7 Traffic Management Center in Smyrna, Delaware at the State Emergency Operations Center. At that location, they monitor traffic conditions, operate traffic lights, and broadcast on 1380 AM via WTMC radio.

Since 1969, the agency has also maintained a transportation library on Bay Road in Dover.

On February 18, 2011, Sec. Carolann Wicks, who had been Secretary of Transportation since 2006, resigned.[4] On March 21, 2011, Cleon Cauley, who had been appointed Deputy Secretary two months earlier, was appointed Acting Secretary.[5][6] On July 5, 2011, Shailen Bhatt was sworn in as the new Secretary of Transportation.[1]
