Executive Team

Director – Scott Stokes
Scott Stokes, an Idaho Transportation Department veteran who joined the department in I992, became Director in late May 2022 after serving as Chief Deputy since 2007. Scott has served in several capacities, including as District Engineer in northern Idaho, and State Bridge Engineer early in his ITD career.As Chief Deputy, Stokes oversaw the divisions of Aeronautics, Motor Vehicles, Public Transportation, Emergency Management and highway bonding programs, and had primary responsibility for much of the department’s daily operations.Stokes was the co-Chair of the Strategic Safety Team, chairman of the Idaho Traffic Safety Commission, and was significantly involved in all facets of highway safety for the department. He is a leading advocate of the drive to achieve zero deaths on Idaho highways by promoting driver responsibility and accountability.

In support of ITD’s strategic goals, Stokes also is engaged in the department’s internal and external efforts to promote economic opportunity through transportation and to increase mobility for Idaho businesses and travelers.

Innovation

Spurred by a vision to operate more like a business, and motivated by an annual funding shortfall in the hundred of millions, in 2014 the department launched a strategy to engage employees to find solutions to everyday problems. The centerpiece of this innovation strategy is an employee-driven effort. Innovate ITD Score Card

Rather than rely on the brainpower of a select group of leadership-level people, ITD is harnessing the creativity of all employees statewide. Employees at every level are encouraged to submit ideas for time and money savings and making processes more efficient. But this is not just an old-fashioned suggestion box. Employees work to implement the best ideas that have a measurable impact.

Presidents Awards

AASHTO Presidents Awards

Since the first win in 1993, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) has taken special pride in recognition earned from the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in their annual awards. It is a chance to measure ITD against the other state departments of transportation in the region and across the country. It’s the rare competition where the size of the budget for construction, outreach or marketing does not count against a small, mostly rural state like Idaho. The AASHTO President’s Awards are considered the highest honor for state departments of transportation. Since 2010, ITD has won 23 of them – it’s proof positive that we consistently produce great projects on behalf of the taxpayers of Idaho. Below are the most recent of the national President’s awards, followed by a listing of the earlier honors.

2020 – 2024 AASHTO President’s Awards


2024 President's Award for Environment & Planning Dist. 3, Idaho’s First Wildlife Overpass Idaho’s first wildlife overpass was built on State Highway 21 just east of Boise. The $7.5M project constructed a 150-foot long wildlife overpass and more than a mile of big-game fencing parallel to the highway to guide animals to the overpass, significantly reducing wildlife-vehicle collisions on this busy highway section. Improving motorist safety and protecting the well-being of residents and commuters, along with wildlife alike benefits the traveling public, hunting and recreational heritage, and helps sustain the benefits our valuable wildlife resources and public lands provide. ITD wildlife-vehicle crash safety data and Dept. of Fish and Game GPS data determined the location of the overpass by finding where most migrating mule deer and elk crossed the highway. This is the next step in the long-range vision to promote safety, mobility, and economic opportunity along SH-21 between Lucky Peak and Idaho City. The goal is to reduce wildlife collisions in the area by 80%.	2024 President's Award for Equity Dist. 1, US-95 McArthur Lake Cultural Discovery The $11M McArthur Lake project in northern Idaho reconstructs an existing two-lane section, adds wider shoulders, and replaces a width-restricted box culvert over Deep Creek, which provides an outlet to McArthur Lake. The existing box culvert will be replaced with two 150-foot span bridges that will provide safe animal passage under the highway. But this project was about more than typical road construction. Key partnerships between ITD, the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho (KTOI), and contractors helped preserve and bring better understanding to the rich history of the area’s indigenous people. A radiocarbon date from artifacts discovered during construction pre-dates the earliest-known sites in the area, meaning that the earliest-known archaeological sites in the upper Columbia River Basin came some 4,000 years earlier than previously thought, which has major implications in the archaeological world and will change the future of archaeological studies for the region. Not only has the Tribe been able to find amazing artifacts that will change the way people think about KTOI cultural history, but many have formed relations with one another and grown individually by researching their own history.
2022 President's Award for Safety Taking Inventory of Idaho’s Highway Assets Prior to the Statewide Asset Attribute Inventory (SWAAI), the components of Idaho’s 12,300-lane-mile state highway system were largely unaccounted for in one cohesive database. Without reliable information, a data-driven approach to decision-making was frequently impossible. Those highway components, or assets, were digitally recorded and catalogued, making for a consistent, efficient, and repeatable process—a technological game-changer for ITD. The SWAAI addresses several of ITD’s strategic goals, starting by saving nearly 300,000 personnel data collection hours and helping its planners identify ways to make ITD’s roads safer to drive. ITD can now fulfill many requests quickly and with much less labor, saving taxpayer dollars in the long run – an estimated $3.8 million saved in boots-on-the-ground collection costs alone. It’s another example of ITD identifying and implementing numerous new, innovative practices and building on a safety legacy, while proving its willingness to be open to revolutionary new ideas and improvements.	2021 President's Award for Highways Dist. 1, Pennsylvania Ave. Overpass ITD replaced two concrete bridges carrying Interstate 90 traffic over Pennsylvania Avenue in Coeur d’Alene with one bridge. The project used Accelerated Bridge Construction methods, which simplified construction and reduced the amount of on-site concrete formwork required. Abutments, piers, and girders were cast off-site in nearby Spokane while work proceeded at the site. Several key changes allowed the bridge to be constructed faster and more effectively. For instance, a high-early strength concrete cut more than 60 days of cure time from the overall project. The bridge provides a great improvement for the community and drivers on the primary route through the largest metro area and tourist destination in north Idaho. The design also allows up to six traffic lanes on I-90 in the future.
2021 President's Award for Traffic Safety Dist. 3, I-84 Safety, Commerce Enhancement ITD won this award for the work on Interstate 84 through the Treasure Valley, the most heavily traveled route in the state, which sees more than 130,000 vehicles per day. The work kept travel lanes open and moving, was delivered under budget and on time and utilized a new-to-Idaho method to enhance safety in the construction corridor. That safety provision was a towing service that moved disabled vehicles off the road and out of the travel lanes to keep traffic moving and assist first responders. Law enforcement was averaging 1.5 hours per incident prior to the implementation of the Safety Service Patrol. The service also saved hundreds of hours for the traveling public and millions of dollars for shippers.	2021 President's Award for Environment Dist. 4, Building Wildlife Sanctuaries A pair of bridges constructed on US-20 in south-central Idaho replaced culverts over Willow and Rock Creek, remedied the failing multi-plate metal culverts that prohibited fish spawning and wildlife migration for decades, and restored wildlife habitats and streams for safe fish passage under the highway. The project also addressed vehicle-wildlife collisions by building animal crossings into the design of the bridges. The Rock Creek bridge section of US-20 saw 64 vehicle-wildlife collisions over the last five years. Idaho Fish & Game and ITD installed game cameras to monitor the environmental benefits of the projects, and within a few months, fish were discovered swimming upstream to spawn, and multiple deer (and a moose) were seen traveling along the channels under the bridges.
2020 President's Award for Highways Dist. 2, Transforming Malfunction Jct. The intersection of US-12, 21st Street, E Main Street, and G Street in Lewiston is the busiest in the entire region, with more than 50,000 vehicles per day using the intersection. Many of those are commercial vehicles. In the past five years, there were 34 crashes at the intersection, including rear-end crashes, head-on crashes and sideswipes. In addition to heavy truck traffic from industrial mills east of the intersection, nearby businesses generate significant traffic. The location is also a gateway to workers and patrons of the area’s largest employers, so it plays an important role in the community, and is a significant economic driver in the region. This area was reconstructed weeks ahead of time, delivering a needed benefit to the road user more quickly than anticipated. Since reopening, it has already greatly improved traffic flow and reduced delays.	2020 President's Award for Environment Dist. 4, Raft River Reversal Widespread spring flooding caused a three-day closure of the interstate in ITD’s south-central Idaho region and prompted the department to move forward on plans to replace the antiquated Raft River bridges. Hydraulics and sediment studies were already in hand, but the flooding confirmed that something needed to be done. Crews replaced three aging structures, adding 10 feet in height to the bridges to create additional space for excess water to safely pass beneath. Two bridges were on the interstate, and a third ran parallel to the highway on a county route. ITD also worked to keep operations moving and not make construction onerous for nearby farmers and dairies dependent on the county roadway. Another noteworthy aspect of the project was the addition of wildlife fencing. At the request of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, ITD put up fencing in the area that abuts the Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge. This fence helps funnel animals to the bridge where they can safely cross underneath the structures as opposed to over the interstate. The crossing was an additional benefit of having more clearance under the bridges.

What to know about this Training

TIM Training is federally developed and delivered across the nation
- Developed by FHWA and offered in partnership with AASHTO, the national TIM training curriculum is pilot-tested and based on best TIM practices and advanced standards.
- To date more than 335,000 TIM Responders across the U.S. have received the training.
TIM Training is customizable.
- Training can be delivered in its entirety or through select modules in almost any setting.
Traffic Incident Management is accepted by the Idaho EMS Bureau as continuing education.
Traffic Incident Management Outreach Toolkit
To respond effectively as a team, we must train as a team.

National TIM Responder Training Program
Traffic Incident Management consists of a planned and coordinated multi-disciplinary process to detect, respond to and clear traffic incidents so that traffic flow may be restored as safely and quickly as possible. TIM Responder Training brings together personnel across the responder spectrum to build a stronger, more coordinated corps at the local and national level.

Why is Traffic Incident Management IMPORTANT?

Saves Lives

Crashes and “struck-by” incidents continue to be a leading cause of on-duty injuries and deaths for public safety responders and support teams responding to highway incidents.

Saves Time

Traffic incidents are a contributing factor to congestion in the U.S. For every minute a freeway lane is blocked due to an incident, it results in four minutes of travel delay.

Saves Money

Less time spent in backups, fewer secondary crashes and fewer insurance claims means less financial loss due to highway incidents.

Who is involved in Traffic Incident Management?

Multiple response agencies work together to respond to highway incidents, including:
