NYSDOT
In 1967 the New York State Department of Transportation was formed to deal with the state's complex transportation system and the ever-increasing need to coordinate the development of transportation with each mode serving its best purpose.

Today, the New York State transportation network includes:

  • A state and local highway system that annually handles over 100 billion vehicle miles. This total system encompasses more than 113,000 highway miles and more than 16,000 bridges.
  • An extensive 4,600-mile rail network over which 42 million tons of equipment, raw materials, manufactured goods and produce are shipped each year.
  • 513 public and private aviation facilities through which more than 31 million people travel each year.
  • Five major ports which annually handle 50 million tons of freight.
  • Over 130 public transit operators, serving over 5.2 million passengers each day.
  • 12 major public and private ports which handle more than 110 million tons of freight annually.
