Elizabeth Weight is the director of communications for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). She has worked in the transportation industry for 14 years, with experience in positions ranging from public involvement to policy and legislation. She believes that government can be a positive institution with the opportunity to systemically improve well-being in communities. Elizabeth studied the relationship between quality of life and transportation for her capstone project in the Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at University of Pennsylvania. Using the principles of positive psychology, she seeks to “grow the good” both internally at UDOT and in Utah’s communities, working with stakeholders and partners to adopt shared well-being measures for policy.
