Abstract:
In the past two decades, Utah Department of Transportation (Utah DOT) has pursued a simple but clear mission: to optimize resources with performance-based measures to ensure a safe, well-maintained, free-flowing transportation system. The author of this article, Utah DOT’s executive director, presents the four goals that define the department’s strategic direction: preserve infrastructure; optimize mobility; zero fatalities; and strengthen the economy. Practical case studies that reflect these goals are summarized.
