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 responsible for approximately 5,900 miles (9,495 kilometers) of state highways in Utah. UDOT's purview extends to other transportation sectors including:

  • aeronatics,
  • paved trails,
  • transit,
  • rail,
  • amusement park ride safety,
  • motor carriers and ports of entry, and
  • nautical.

UDOT has three executive leaders. The Executive Director is Carlos Braceras with Lisa Wilson and Ben Huot as Deputy Directors. Project priorities are set forth by the independent Utah Transportation Commission, which coordinates directly with the UDOT. UDOT's three strategic goals include: Zero Fatalities, Optimize Mobility, and Preserve Infrastructure. UDOT's jurisdiction, regulations, and service responsibilities are governed by Utah state law.
