UDOiT with Nic - Driving the Sweeper with the West Valley Shed
This week, Nic got the chance to drive the broom truck with Tim Garcia from the West Valley shed. Come to find out, it’s about much more than aesthetics; it keeps commuters safe from debris that could potentially fly up and hit their vehicles.
“We take pride in maintaining a clean area,” says Ken Syme, Station Supervisor. “Ultimately, our job is to keep Utah moving and safe, and my guys do an excellent job taking care of the people in this area. We view this as our fundamental role.”
Speaking of safety, we also get an up-close look at the use of the “Follow truck" which gives early-warning indications for drivers as they pull up on sweeping operations.

Big thank you to Tim, Brent, Ken and the rest of the crew from Station 224!
