ROLE OF PLANNING
UDOT Planning is uniquely positioned to help UDOT accomplish its Mission, and fulfill the message of UDOT’s leadership in regards to the UVision Quality of Life Framework (now UDOT’s mission).
Planning programs such as TravelWise, Move Utah, and Solutions Development help guide UDOT’s commitment to move people, not cars, and help point UDOT towards planning and developing solutions, studies, and projects that help develop and implement our Quality of Life Framework: Better Mobility, Good Health, Connected Communities, and a Strong Economy.
A Rotational Engineer in Planning will get a broad understanding of UDOT’s overall transportation system and the UDOT Vision, Mission, Goals, and metrics. Each Rotational Engineer will get a variety of opportunities (depending on timing) to work on the TravelWise, Move Utah, and Solution Development Programs Statewide. Additionally, the Rotational Engineer may get to work on other Planning Studies with our other transportation partners, UDOT’s Long Range Planning, perhaps Emerging Areas, Project Prioritization efforts, and Data/GIS support.
Using the Programs below, the Planning Division helps lead and guide the Department’s emphasis to contribute context on how it all fits together. Transportation Planning outlines multi-modal, context-based, quality of life solutions.
