Introducing GRIT
Utah ranks #1 in fiscal stability (U.S. News and World Report) and #1 in economic outlook (ALEC States), but we’re not settling there. On May 9, 2025, we launched GRIT: Government Reform, Innovation & Transparency — a statewide push to improve efficiency and deliver more results for the people of Utah.
We’re building on what works and fixing what doesn’t. That’s GRIT.
GRIT: Government Reform, Innovation & Transparency
Goal 1. People.
Build a future of health and opportunity for every Utahn.
This work didn’t start today, and it won’t end tomorrow. We’re doubling down on what works, fixing what doesn’t, and making government work better for everyone.
Under Utah’s new GRIT initiative, state government will:
- Empower employees to identify and fix inefficiencies.
- Require each agency to submit at least one improvement project to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB) by July 1, 2025.
- Participate in collaborative process improvement through an agency-wide network known as EPIC.
- Launch at least one internal efficiency project per division, office, or bureau.
- Establish clear metrics to track cost savings, time savings, and improved service.
- Report results of improvement efforts to GOPB.
Goal 2. Place.
Neighborhoods and communities where the American Dream thrives.
Utahns: Tell us what’s working — and what’s not.
Your feedback helps us cut red tape, drive results, and improve how government serves you.
- Online: Look for feedback buttons or “How was your experience?” prompts on any state agency website.
- In person: Scan the QR code posted at entrances or service counters in government buildings across the state.
