The largest investment in the state’s history reflects Utah’s rapid growth.
According to an article in Mass Transit, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) passed the state’s largest-ever transportation program, in part as a result of the state’s explosive growth in recent years.
UDOT Executive Director Carlos Braceras said in a statement, “This $14.3 billion will help us deliver not only smoother, safer and more efficient highways, but also expansions and improvements to our transit system and new trail segments as part of our statewide trail network.”
The article adds, “The money will be used to build and improve Utah’s roads, trails and transit system in collaboration with local planning organizations, cities and counties and will help provide transportation choices for everyone.”
