For transportation agencies, communication is critical to keeping roads open, crews safe, and operations moving, especially in rural states where terrain and distance can challenge traditional networks.
At the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT), Assistant Secretary Scott Eplin says the agency has found a powerful complement to its existing communications systems in FirstNet — a nationwide public safety broadband network built through a public-private partnership between the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) and AT&T.
Today, WVDOT uses the FirstNet network to support a wide range of transportation operations — from highway maintenance to construction oversight — helping crews stay connected and safe while working across the state’s mountainous terrain.
