Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in 2020, UTA began scoping and conducting Small Area Studies with the following objectives:
- Evaluate current service performance
- Determine where additional service may be needed
- Develop recommendations, including increased transit service, Travel Demand Management, first/last mile improvements, or other solutions
- Share information with and get input from the communities involved.
DISCUSSION:
UTA Planning is providing an update to the Board of Trustees on completed, current, and upcoming Small Area Studies.
- Northwest Utah County Transit Study: Completed 2021. Although not conducted as part of the same process, we consider this study similar in scope and outputs to the other small area studies.
- South Davis Small Area Study: In-Progress. Completed existing conditions analysis, presented recommendations to Technical Advisory Committee. Preparing for broader community outreach; study to be completed in May 2022.
- Falcon Hill Small Area Study: In-Progress. Completed kickoff, currently in technical analysis; study to be completed in July 2022.
- West Bench Small Area Study: Scoping and developing study area; study to be completed in November 2022.
- Upcoming studies:
