The Anoka County Transportation Division (Highway, Fleet, Surveyor’s Office, Transit, and GIS) maintains more than 400 miles of roads each year. “Maintains” is a broad term because it includes reconstruction or reconditioning of roadways; improvements to the traffic management system (i.e., traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings); snowplowing and ice control; and general infrastructure maintenance.
In addition to these efforts, the Transportation Division provides a wide range of essential services that may not be as noticeable but are critical to the success of our operations. These include land monumentation and county coordinate system; Geographic Information Systems (GIS); fleet services; design and construction engineering; right-of-way management; planning; and transit coordination. The division also oversees traffic signal operations; sign fabrication and maintenance; and supports public engagement and permitting processes.
Together, these services ensure a safe, efficient, and well-maintained transportation network for Anoka County residents.
