Utah Transit Authority to proceed with commuter-rail project


advertisement

After three years of planning and studying, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has obtained Federal Transit Administration approval for its Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Weber County-to-Salt Lake City commuter-rail project.

Now, the authority can begin acquiring property for the nine-station, 44-mile line, which could include future extensions to Provo, Brigham City and Payson.

In November 2000, voters in Salt Lake, Davis and Weber counties approved a quarter-cent sales tax increase to fund additional transit services, including commuter rail.
