14 ENGINEER OF THE YEAR NOMINEE Scott Stevenson, P.E. ITE • Transportation engineer, 14 years of experience • Works in the UDOT Traffic Operations Center “Scott’s knowledge of the history and current operations of every system utilized by UDOT is unparalleled.” “Recently, a small plane crashed on the freeway in Weber County, closing the freeway southbound and causing sig- nificant delays in the northbound direction. This happened on a Sunday about 3:30 p.m., and Scott was notified as the de facto on-call signals engineer. He had his computer up mitigating impacts and adjusting traffic signals on de - tour routes before most of the other TOC staff were even aware of the crash. To this day, most of the TOC and UDOT region staff would be surprised to learn of the work he did and its impact to the traveling public. The effort he put in on his day off to Keep Utah Moving is just one evidence of a pattern typical to Scott: rise to the occasion and provide excellent service whenever possible, regardless of personal gain or accommodation.” Jed Lyman with Scott Stevenson, P.E.
