The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) develops the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for the Salt Lake City-West Valley City and Ogden-Layton Urbanized Areas. The RTP is a fiscally constrained plan for roadway, transit, and other transportation facility improvements over the next 20-30 years. Designed to meet the travel demand of a growing population, the RTP is developed in accordance with federal guidelines. It includes roadway, transit, and active transportation facilities paired with the appropriate land use that is identified, modeled, selected, and phased, with the help of region-wide transportation partners; local communities including planners, engineers, and elected officials; stakeholders; and the general public through an extensive planning process. This process, along with the steps used to develop the RTP, are documented and supported with analysis and evaluation methods that help determine the best transportation improvements with a limited amount of funding.

For additional information regarding the RTP, please contact Jory Johner.

Adopted 2023-2050 RTP

To reflect the dynamic and ever-changing transportation needs of the region, WFRC, in close collaboration with local communities and partners, undertook a robust process to develop the Wasatch Choice Vision and 2023-2050 RTP.

Past RTPs

Developed in accordance with federal guidelines, the past fiscally constrained plans include transportation facilities improvements identified by a variety of stakeholders, as well as the general public, through an extensive planning process.
