On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac speak with Steve Elliott, Assistant Communications Director for Public Information at the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).


Steve breaks down the latest scams targeting drivers, including text messages and emails falsely claiming to be from ADOT and demanding payment for tickets or unpaid tolls. He explains why Arizona doesn’t have toll roads and shares how drivers can protect themselves using ADOT’s new online resource: azdot.gov/scams.


Truckers will also want to hear about ADOT’s latest truck parking updates, including new digital signs on I-10 rest areas and plans for additional truck parking at I-40 and Sunset Point Rest Area.
