Cool. I added simple CSV and JSON files with all the web site of the DOTs for the 50 states + DC. I verified all the web site links and they seem good. We can take it anywhere from here.
For example if someone would care to check these web sites for a construction RSS feed or a twitter feed, or any other type of structured information regarding new road construction, that would be a great start. You can update this file directly with new columns: https://github.com/osmlab/dot-feed/blob/master/scripts/state_table.csv <https://github.com/osmlab/dot-feed/blob/master/scripts/state_table.csv> or submit it as a ticket.
