Agency: Transportation Function The Utah Department of Transportation's mission is 'Quality Transportation today, Better Transportation Tomorrow.' The department recognizes that good transportation leads to economic prosperity and a better quality of life. To achieve these ends, the department strives for four strategic goals: taking care of what we have, making the system work better, improving safety and increasing capacity. It is only by focusing on these goals that the department can assure that today's efforts will improve life for the generations to come. The Utah Department of Transportation is responsible for over 6,000 miles of highways - 14% of the state's total highway road system of over 42,000 miles. This responsibility includes snow removal, signage, bridges, repairs, building, and maintenance as well as the Traffic Operations Center with live camera coverage for monitoring road conditions, accidents, and safety. The Utah Department of Transportation has offices throughout the state. The main office in the Calvin Rampton Building in Salt Lake City houses general administration, community relations, port of entry administration, labs, and vehicle maintenance. There are four region offices and three district offices from Ogden to Cedar City. Personnel in each region or district office oversee administration, construction, and maintenance of all state roads, highways, and freeways within their area.
