UDOT policies are written and developed to provide further clarification on how UDOT will carry out and perform responsibilities as defined by Utah State Code and administrative rules. 

UDOT policies help employees accomplish their work by providing guidance, consistency, accountability, efficiency, and clarity on how UDOT operates. In some cases, policies continue to further develop and define responsibilities and actions that will be taken as directed by Utah State Code and administrative rules. Policies provide more detail on how programs or actions will be carried out.

Much like administrative rules, policies need to be reviewed on a frequent basis to ensure consistency and relevance to how UDOT conducts business. The following link provides direction on Policy Development & Approval Workflow for the updating and creation of policies.

Currently, the majority of policies that provide guidance and definition on how UDOT is to carry out and oversee the maintenance of UDOT’s transportation system falls under Operations Policies, specifically, section Maintenance 06A (see below). Other important policies have been noted below. All UDOT policies can be found at the following link: UDOT Policy Repository
