AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve resolution R2025-06-03 authorizing the Executive Director to execute an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement (ILA) with Salt Lake County to provide UTA with $500,000 to be used for the Davis-Salt Lake City Community Connector project.
BACKGROUND:
During the 2018 General Session, the Utah State Legislature enacted Senate Bill 136, which allowed for a one percent local option sales and use tax, which is used by Salt Lake County (the County) in its Regional Transportation Choice Fund (4th Quarter), which provides for on-going transportation funding in Salt Lake County (Transportation Funds).).
DISCUSSION:
The Salt Lake County Council has appropriated Transportation Funds to further regional transportation by financing all or a portion of the costs of transportation projects throughout the County. Among these projects is the Davis-Salt Lake City Community Connector. Project Partners include UTA and Salt Lake County.
The aim of the Project is to establish a Bus Rapid Transit system utilizing existing roadways and without dedicated lanes to provide scheduled, public transit from the University of Utah Research Park in Salt Lake City to cities in Davis County including Bountiful, Centerville, and North Salt Lake and ending at the Farmington FrontRunner Station.
Salt Lake County, through this agreement, will reimburse UTA up to $500,000 for costs authorized under the Agreement. UTA will provide a project status update to the County annually until all allocated funds have been disbursed.
