The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is an agency of the state government of Utah, United States; it is usually referred to by its initials UDOT (pronounced "you-dot"). UDOT is charged with maintaining approximately 6,000 miles (9,700 km)[1] of roadway that constitute the network of state highways in Utah. The agency is headquartered in the Calvin L. Rampton State Office Complex in Taylorsville, Utah.[2]

The Executive Director is Carlos Braceras[3] with Lisa Wilson[4] and Ben Huot[5] as Deputy Directors.[6] Project priorities are set forth by the independent Utah Transportation Commission,[7] which coordinates directly with the UDOT. UDOT's three strategic goals[8] include: Zero Fatalities,[9] Optimize Mobility,[10] and Preserve Infrastructure.[11]
