To address projected local and regional transportation demand in western Salt Lake County and western Utah County north of Utah Lake, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), in cooperation with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG), and the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), are preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

Envision Utah will facilitate the “Growth Choices” process. Growth Choices invites stakeholders from the communities within the corridor to craft their preferred scenario of future growth and transportation improvements. These scenarios will be considered when transportation alternatives are determined.

The EIS has been initiated to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that mandates extensive evaluation of environmental effects and public input regarding transportation projects.
