Salt Lake City – Officials from across the Wasatch Front ride transit during Free Fare February and celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
SALT LAKE CITY (March 27, 2023) - Robin Hutcheson, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Administrator along with representatives from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County convened to discuss transportation safety in Utah. The past two years have seen some of the highest number of fatalities on our roadways, and safety is a top priority of national, state, and local leaders and transportation officials. Together the group considered Utah's safety challenges, discussed solutions, and forged relationships that will allow Utah to address them collaboratively.
The public is being invited to provide input on hundreds of transportation projects along the Wasatch Front. The projects, totaling more than $7 billion, are deemed a priority by the Wasatch Front Regional Council in conjunction with the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Transit Authority to improve mobility, strengthen the economy and enhance quality of life.
