The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) shared a social media round-up in a notice posted to its website. The update highlighted several agency projects and community engagement opportunities.
In partnership with UTA and the Utah Rural Specialized Transit Association, UDOT is working on Utah’s first Statewide Transit and Human Services Transportation Study. The agency is seeking public input through a survey to learn about community transportation needs to help shape future planning and investments across the state.
Regarding seasonal travel, UDOT issued reminders for those traveling in the Alpine Loop this fall to obey traffic signs, park only in designated areas, and plan ahead to manage traffic. To assist with trip planning, Roads to Recreation has launched a new Instagram account where drivers can check road and parking conditions.
On the digital communications front, UDOT spotlighted Keriann Noble, a digital communications and technology specialist with 13 years of experience at the agency. Additionally, a new video was released regarding the use of pond levelers as an alternative to relocating beavers, demonstrating how the agency is partnering with wildlife experts to protect infrastructure while preserving beaver habitats.
