Congratulations to @SeanDuffyWI on your Senate confirmation. As you said, "safety isn’t partisan"—and that’s a vision we can all get behind. I look forward to working with you and your team to continue improving Utah's transportation systems.

[Carlos Braceras @CarlosUDOT]

I was grateful for the opportunity to participate in a panel speaking on behalf of @aashtospeaks about Build America, Buy America (BABA) at a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure.

At the Transportation Research Board Conference yesterday, I represented the state DOTs in a session about roadway safety and had the chance to share a little Utah’s safety journey. It’s always a pleasure to learn from new colleagues and catch up with old friends like @Pollytrott

I want to share my heartfelt sympathy for Steve's family and all who knew and loved him.

Recently we lost a member of Team UDOT. Steve Wilkins served our state as a Business Analyst Supervisor here at UDOT. A dedicated professional, Steve's kindness, knowledge, and eagerness to assist others made him an invaluable part of our team.

Hi folks. Please give this thread a read. It's going to be a longer one.

Let’s talk about wrong-way driving.

In 2023, there have been 19 wrong-way driving crashes with seven fatalities, including the one on I-15 in Orem on Sunday.

I've had the opportunity to work with @mschultz_12 for almost 10 years. I know from experience that he is a person who understands what is truly important to the people of Utah and is willing to stand up for what's right. Congratulations, Speaker Schultz.

Teaming up with Jay Fox and @RideUTA is always a pleasure.

Today's service project at the #UtahTransportation conference looked a little different than our usual partnerships, but was just as meaningful.

If you need help starting the conversation with your teen I’d encourage you to visit https://t.co/C212MsvnCD. We have free resources available that can help facilitate an educational and impactful discussion.

[Carlos Braceras @CarlosUDOT]

Last year, 32 teenage lives were tragically lost on Utah roads last year. Yesterday, ahead of National Teen Driver Safety Week, family members shared their stories to encourage others to drive safely, be aware of surroundings and focus on teen driver education.

[Carlos Braceras @CarlosUDOT]

Our teenagers are watching us. Parents are the most powerful teachers and what they see and learn from our behaviors is louder than any words. What are we teaching them through our own driving behaviors?

I recently signed the largest transportation program in state history: $14.3 billion in projects from 2024-2029. This historic level of investment will help keep Utah moving for years to come. Read more about it here: https://t.co/Ml8UN9cQKm

I appreciate @GovCox joining us today to announce the next phase of UDOT's efforts to upgrade freeway lane striping along the Wasatch Front with wider markings designed to last longer and be more visible to drivers. Our crews are working hard to #KeepUtahMoving safely. #TeamUDOT

[Carlos Braceras @CarlosUDOT]

It was a pleasure to be with my friend, @FTA_DOT Administrator Nuria Fernandez, as we celebrated the completion of the @RideUTA OGX project. As Senator @annmillner said, it will be a game changer. Congratulations, UTA. Great work.

Today UDOT is hosting the Utah Connected Webinar Series to foster collaboration among our partners. These webinars allow us to share some of what we've learned as a leader in the development of connected transportation infrastructure with other DOTs & planners around the country.
