Middle, high school and college students, parents, siblings, teachers, professors, contest volunteers.... this week's WV on the DOT podcast was recorded live at WVDOT's 24th Annual West Virginia Bridge Design and Build Contest. It's a family event and a WVDOT tradition, so share it with any teachers and students who may want to join us next year.

WV on the DOT -243- Jacob Bumgarner on Being Named State Highway Engineer

Transparency with and accountability to the public are vital to the West Virginia Department of Transportation as we continue to make fundamental changes to the way we work so that our whole system is more efficient, tax dollars are stretched further, and our infrastructure continues to get better (not worse) over time.  Our dedication to transparency is apparent in our interactive roadwork map, our use of social media, press events, and other means of reaching out to let people know not only what we do, but how we do it.  WV on the DOT podcast will provide a direct link where our leadership team and others within the WVDOT can share information in the simplest fashion; by having a conversation.  This will allow complex topics to be shared and understood like never before.
