Ok You may not be impressed, but NCDOT's Report to its legislature twice a year....
Appears very thorough,
graphically shows improvement/worsening trends compared to past performance,
Even uses color to immediately see items needing urgent attention.
It's a nice-looking report so even the graphic design & execution deserve high marks.
Do you agree? Have you seen other reports that surpass this one?
NC, the state that's a collective of a thousand small town Mayberries, can surprise in some functions of the state that raise the standard for everybody else.

Doing inventory for my business is enough of a pain, and 75% of that is within one bedroom of my house (the rest is in the closet and garage). I can't imagine the processes that must be involved in inventorying a state DOT.
The closest public report for NY I can think of is the pavement data report. We inventory many other assets, but I'm not aware of any of that data being released publicly, though some ADA data was released as part of the draft transition plan.

Hawaii DOT has an annual report to its legislature, though with much less detail and about an equal split between highways, airports, and harbors (the DOT also maintains the state's major non-military airports and harbors).

Funny thing about this is, I've always found it amusing that many DOTs have essentially become "Departments of Highways" with comparatively very little focus on other modes of transportation. Seems like Hawaii is sticking more true to the DOT moniker.
Edit: Also, since this is somewhat relevant to the topic, MnDOT has an excellent "roadway data" page for its highways, including log points, construction project logs (though some are a few years out-of-date), lane mile data, reference-post calibrations (the "true mile" log), and other miscellany here: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/roadway/data/

Alaska is the same way, and its DOT's name includes "public facilities" (though I'm unsure what non-transportation facilities fall within its domain). Ditto Puerto Rico (its DOT's name translates to "Department of Transportation and Public Works").
I think that in more urbanized states, the "transportation" mandate may includes commuter rail and other public transit, though I don't know whether like in say New Jersey it might have its own department.
I would think that most DOTs have non-highway tasks, even if they aren't obvious. Administering federal railroad crossing improvement money, for example.

States also have thousands of general aviation airports, and the DOT is usually responsible for at least cataloging them.
