From the NMDOT website: “The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) maintains approximately 25,000 miles of roadsides, encompassing over 215,000 acres. While safety is always a primary driver of our roadside management program, NMDOT is also responsible for good environmental stewardship within our right of ways. In support of this, we are optimizing our roadside vegetation management practices through the implementation of an Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) program.”
