The Utah Department of Transportation consists of a central office and four region offices. The four regional offices are located in Ogden, Salt Lake, Orem, and Richfield.
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.
