UDOT Partnership on Capital Projects
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
During the 2022 legislative session, House Bill 322 - Public Transit Capital Development Modifications, was passed. This bill transfers oversight of fixed guideway transit capital development projects that increase capacity and receive state funding, to UDOT. The bill specifically mentions, but is not limited to, the doubletracking of FrontRunner and public transit at the Point of the Mountain. The bill also requires UDOT, in consultation with UTA, to develop a written plan for how they will manage these types of projects.
DISCUSSION:
UTA staff will discuss the requirements and implications of HB322. They will also discuss the status of the management plan development, as well as the 2022 legislative funding appropriations for transit.
Current projects that are anticipated to be impacted by this legislation include:
- Front Runner Forward
- Point of the Mountain
- S-Line Extension
- Midvalley BRT
ALTERNATIVES:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
These projects are included in UTA’s approved 5-year capital plan. Revisions to the 5-year plan may be required based on the management plan procedures that are being developed and who will manage the various design and construction contracts (UDOT or UTA).
