Utah is a land of opportunities, including jobs, education, recreation, and more. But it’s not enough for these opportunities to simply exist. They must be easy to get to.
“Travel choices can help alleviate the pressures of population growth,” said Ted Knowlton, Wasatch Front Regional Council deputy director. “If long-time residents and new Utahns all drive the same route on the same road to get where they need to go all of the time, then everyone will feel more crowded. If, instead, transportation is spread out between roads, trains, buses, bike paths, and sidewalks, roadways will be less jammed and growth will feel more manageable.
Additional transportation choices, like walking, biking, and riding transit, can also reduce the demand for new highways and parking.While infrastructure investments will remain an important piece of Utah’s transportation future, doing this at the level required to serve every Utahn can result in significant financial and environmental costs. But those impacts depend a lot on the way communities are built.
