What this tracks
This dataset tracks Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) maintenance facilities across the state, including their locations, types, and operational details.
Why it matters to you
Knowing where NDOT maintenance facilities are located helps Nevada residents understand winter road maintenance capabilities near their commute routes. If you regularly drive US-95 near Trinity, this data tells you there’s a salt-sand storage facility at milepost 58.9 that services that stretch of highway. Trucking companies can check fuel availability at these facilities when planning long-haul routes through rural Nevada counties like Churchill.
How to read this data
NAME — Facility name like “TRINITY” shown on maps and signs.
TYPE — What the facility stores or handles, such as “SALT-SAND” for winter road treatment materials.
ROUTE_NUM & MILEPOST — Exact highway location (e.g., “95” at “58.9” means 58.9 miles along US-95).
NDOT_STATUS — Whether the facility is currently “OPEN” or closed to the public.
Try it yourself
Check if there’s an open NDOT maintenance facility within 10 miles of your regular winter driving route by searching the milepost numbers along highways like US-95 or I-80.
