Utah officials have issued an alert regarding fraudulent text messages and calls claiming to be for unpaid tolls, tickets, or other infractions. These communications are not from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) or the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
The fraudulent messages involve individuals asking for money and personal information for toll services. This activity is part of a nationwide scam. UDOT has stated that its databases have not been compromised.
Officials advise the public not to respond to these messages or provide any personal information. Individuals who encounter these scams or suspicious communications should report them to the Federal Trade Commission.
This alert follows a previous notice issued on December 4, 2025, regarding similar fraudulent activities. UDOT has also provided resources regarding various transportation topics, including road and ramp closures in Davis and Salt Lake counties announced on October 15, 2026, and shifts to new northbound lanes in Provo Canyon announced on October 9, 2026.
