SUBMIT AN INNOVATION

A culture of innovation ensures that we are always growing, improving, and making life better for employees, partners and the public. By sharing an innovation, your creativity, experience, and hard work may help others across Utah. Submitting innovations is a great way for you and your team to be recognized for the great work you do.

Instructions

Who is eligible to submit an innovation?

UDOT consultants, contractors, and employees are encouraged to submit innovations they have implemented at UDOT.

STEP 1: Verify that you are submitting an implemented innovation

Please submit implemented innovations, not ideas.

● An implemented innovation is something that 1) is already tested, approved, and in use, 2) has not already been reported, 3) solves a problem, and 4) results in value for UDOT, its stakeholders, and/or customers.

● Ideas are thoughts or suggestions about what is possible and should be submitted on the Ideas Portal (open to employees only).

STEP 2: Download, fill out, and submit the worksheet

Download a copy of the Innovation Submission Worksheet, fill it out, and then send it to the contacts listed in the worksheet.

What's Next?

Your submission will be reviewed according to the criteria in step one above. We will work with you to answer questions and draft an innovation story. This process may include the calculation of efficiency and ROI values. Approved stories are published in the UDOT Innovation Catalog.

Innovation Award Nomination

Published innovations are automatically considered for one of the annual UDOT Innovation Awards and are eligible for quarterly random prize drawings. Some innovations are highlighted in the annual Innovation & Efficiencies Report. See the Awards & Prizes page for details.
