Letter: Utah needs a unified feasibility study of transit projects on a statewide level.
With UDOT’s help, we can plan a system that will make Utah a transit model for the nation. UDOT is currently evaluating transit for The Point, Salt Lake City just received a grant totalling nearly $2 million to study aspects of the Rio Grande Plan, and Gov. Spencer Cox has given his support for a future rail connection to Cedar City and St. George. The possibilities are endless.
Every one of Utah’s rail transit lines started as an idea, those ideas now move tens of thousands of people every day. Today, ideas like the Rio Grande Plan, and the Utah Rail Passengers Association’s Link Utah are gaining traction. These ideas are ambitious, and rapidly gaining support. We need a unified feasibility study of projects like these on a statewide level. I would propose a UDOT-led study to identify potential rail transit projects around the state. These projects could be anything from a short extension of TRAX, to a Park City commuter rail, to a train delivering tourists to Moab. Once a study is complete implementation of key aspects could be completed in time for a hypothetical 2034 Winter Olympics.
