The Department of Highways, consisting of four employees, was given an initial budget of $3,700. The state's first 29 numbered highways were commissioned on August 29, 1924. By March 1, 1930, the department name had been modified slightly to simply the Oklahoma Department of Highways. In 1976 Oklahoma Legislature restructured the Department of Highways as an overall coordinating agency for the state's highways, railways, and waterways and renamed it to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation. Today, ODOT maintains 30,473 State highway lane miles.  Learn more at ODOT Home (oklahoma.gov)
