Hiring skilled employees is challenging in the public sector. You have to start young. So we're reaching out to STEM students to teach them about careers at UDOT that align with their interests in hopes they'll remember us when they're ready to join the workforce. #UDOTInnovates
🚨 The ramp from 800 N in @oremcity to US-189 has reopened! 🎉🎉Areas of the rock face at the mouth of Provo Cyn gave way due to unprecedented weather. Thanks to our UDOT eng. & maint. teams & contractor, for working to ensure the ramp is safe for travel. Good things come in 3s.
@CarlosUDOT I love working with Rick Torgerson. I am going to miss him and his leadership and the way he supported the fiber optic projects. He is a visionary.

Meet Carlos M. Braceras, the executive director of the Utah Department of Transportation (@UtahDOT).
Carlos is responsible for UDOT’s 1,600 employees as well as the design, construction, and maintenance of Utah’s 6,000-mile road system. Thanks for keeping Utah moving!
@Mskriebe So I could hit it just right and get a spin on the ball. They have a really big one at the computer museum in California. It was as good as I remembered🥰. The breakout was next.
Participating in a meeting hosted by Rocky Mountain Power to talk about the future of electric vehicles in Utah. Transportation is evolving quickly, and electrification is an important part of that transformation. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next! #KeepingUtahMoving
@elisenicscott So I really like getting diet A&W root beer floats at the KFC’s. AF, Orem, SL north temple and redwood. AF used to chill the mugs if you dined inside😊
@UtahDOT The longest highway that goes through Utah is US-191. Does I-15 even count? It is an Interstate. US -89 has the most miles inside the borders of Utah😳. Final answer US-191.
Did you know that there are many roads in the state that UDOT doesn’t manage? On this map, https://t.co/X0poEvM8GJ the blue and red lines show highways managed by UDOT. Everything else is maintained by a city or county.
@downrightdave I can confirm those numbers. I was surprised but encouraged. I even smiled with my eyes at the sweet lady whose mask broke but she was trying to keep covered.
