In 2017, DelDOT became the first state agency in Delaware to join Project SEARCH, a program for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Delaware Department of Transportation won the 2018 Employer of the Year Award from the Council for Exceptional Children, a national organization dedicated to promoting career opportunities for young adults with disabilities. DelDOT had seven interns with intellectual or developmental disabilities in the 2017-2018 school year, several of whom were offered jobs at the end of their tenure. This year DelDOT will have 10 interns.
