Happy Birthday, UDOT!
On March 23, 1909, the State Road Commission of Utah was created to care for a small network of mostly dirt and gravel roads. Today, 117 years later, that effort has grown into the Utah Department of Transportation—an organization known for innovation and a strong commitment to keeping Utah moving safely and efficiently.
Over the decades, UDOT has grown alongside the state, helping build early highways, expanding the interstate system and leading the way with innovative solutions. Each milestone reflects the dedication of employees who have made a lasting impact on Utah’s communities and quality of life.
Today, that legacy continues through you! Your work supports a transportation system that serves all users and keeps Utah moving forward.
So, take a few minutes to check out the Strategic Direction and see how your work is helping shape what’s next for UDOT—then celebrate the day your way (cake, cookies or whatever makes you happiest).
Happy Birthday, UDOT!
