- Rhode Island Department of Transportation
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) is a Rhode Island state government agency charged with construction, maintenance and inspection of a wide range of transportation infrastructure. These include 1,102 miles (2,908 lane miles) of state roads and highways, 772 bridges, and 777 traffic signals. Additionally, RIDOT has constructed a convert|50|mi|km|sing=on network of off-road bike paths and signed more than convert|90|mi|km of on-road bike routes across the state.
Airports in Rhode Island are overseen by the R.I. Airport Corporation, ports are handled by the R.I. Economic Development Corporation, and passenger train service is operated by Amtrak and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (although RIDOT worked with the MBTA to establish Boston-bound commuter rail service into Providence and continues to work with the MBTA to expand commuter rail into central and southern Rhode Island). Additionally, driver's licenses and motor vehicle registrations are the responsibility of the R.I. Department of Motor Vehicles and two large bridges, the Claiborne Pell (Newport) Bridge and the Mount Hope Bridge, are under the responsibility of the R.I. Turnpike and Bridge Authority. Detailed information on all RIDOT programs is available online at [http://www.dot.ri.gov/ www.dot.ri.gov] .
