BACKGROUND:
The UTA Local Advisory Council (LAC) was created in 2018 as part of the Utah Public Transit District Act.

DISCUSSION:
A brief summary of LAC statutory roles is attached and staff will present the key provisions of the Act for discussion. LAC members are uniquely positioned to understand transit’s value and challenges and to advocate for their constituencies.
