The Navajo Division of Transportation

The new Navajo Division of Transportation welcomes everyone to their website, we hope you visit often.

The former Navajo Department of Transportation is now officially established as the Navajo Division of Transportation added to the Executive Branch of Navajo government. Our website address www.navajodot.org will not change, however, information on the site will be tailored to suit the Division. The site will be enhanced with new features and information for you.     

On July 21, 2009, the Navajo Nation Council approved legislation establishing the Navajo Division of Transportation with a vote overwhelmingly in favor of the change.  The President of the Navajo Nation sanctioned the Council’s action with his signature of approval on August 7, 2009; adding another important event to Navajo Nation progress.   

There were many who worked hard in support of the new Division; we thank everyone who contributed. A special note of appreciation is extended to the Navajo Nation Council Delegates who, with leadership and foresight, voted to create the Division. Our appreciation is also extended to the President of the Navajo Nation, Dr. Joe Shirley, Jr.

First and foremost, we thank the Chapters, local communities and people of the Navajo Nation for their vote of confidence. The action by the Navajo Nation Council reflected the position expressed by a large majority of Chapters which passed resolutions in support of a stronger transportation entity. We sincerely thank the many Chapter leaders, Officers, Chapter staff members and advocates who carried the message for us.

We realize that our change to a Division is accompanied by increased expectations in  performance, productivity and services. As the Navajo Division of Transportation we were characterized by expansion, creativity and pro-activity; we expect to continue in this same mode adding more innovative programs for Navajo roads and transportation.

We also appreciate and thank the many Partners who continue to support our evolution into the comprehensive transportation entity we want to be; these are our friends at State DOT’s, Counties, Districts, Indian Nations and respective Legislatures. We value these alliances knowing that no organization or group can do it alone.

Ahe’ hee’ and safe travels.
