Agency: Transportation

Line Item: Region Management

Function

The Utah Department of Transportation consists of a central office, four region offices, and three districts maintenance offices. The four regional offices are located in Ogden, Salt Lake, Orem, and Richfield. The three district maintenance offices are located in Richfield, Price, and Cedar City.

While the regions and districts were originally organized to perform only maintenance work, they acquired the function of construction, preconstruction and materials labs when these functions were partially decentralized. The reasons for decentralization were to have work planned and supervised in close proximity to the area and people being served.

Traditional work performed by a district or region is divided into six functional areas of responsibility. The functional areas are administration, preconstruction, materials labs, construction, maintenance, and safety/loss management.

Statutory Authority

The Regional Management Division of the Utah Department of Transportation is governed by the Title 72-6 UCA.

Intent Language

    Under terms of Section 63-38-8.1 Utah Code Annotated, Item 223 of Chapter 1 Laws of Utah 2007 is made non-lapsing with the use of any non-lapsing funds limited to the following: Region Management $200,000
