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 the network of state highways in Utah. The agency is headquartered in the Calvin L. Rampton state office complex in Taylorsville, Utah.[3]

The Executive Director is Carlos Braceras.[2] [1] Project priorities are set forth by the independent Utah Transportation Commission,[4] which coordinates directly with the UDOT's executive director.[5]
