The City of Roswell's Department of Transportation (RDOT) has been awarded the re-certification of the prestigious American Public Works Association (APWA) Accreditation designation. There are only 193 accredited agencies nationwide. In 2016, Roswell's Transportation Dept. (RDOT) became only one of three cities in Georgia to receive this distinction and continues to hold this accreditation, along with only five other cities in Georgia.

"Receiving the re-certification for the APWA Accreditation shows RDOT's continued commitment to providing the best public works services and programs to the citizens of Roswell," said Muhammad Rauf, Roswell Department of Transportation Director. "RDOT's staff will remain diligent in making Roswell a great city to live, work and play by exceeding these standards through innovation and excellence.”

RDOT received the re-accreditation after a comprehensive review of its operations from a team of public work professionals from Colorado and Texas. Full accreditation signifies that, daily, an agency meets or exceeds standards of performance in areas such as engineering, street/drainage, construction, emergency response, and maintenance, surveying and traffic operations.

"This accreditation aligns with the City's mission of providing citizens with responsive, high-quality services in a fiscally sound manner to ensure Roswell continues to be a vibrant community," said Mayor Lori Henry

RODT oversees all facets of traffic and transportation in the City of Roswell. Their responsibilities include planning, design, engineering, implementation, and maintenance of projects to improve safety, connectivity, and mobility within the City. RDOT also maintains the signs, signals, and pavement markings, performs road resurfacing, sidewalk connectivity, bridge maintenance, and general repair of the existing infrastructure.

APWA is an international educational and professional association of public agencies, private sector companies, and individuals dedicated to providing high-quality public works goods and services. The organization helps agencies grow and improve the quality of life in hundreds of communities. This program formally verifies and recognizes RDOT for its compliance with recognized and established standards.
