Community members question interest in electric vehicle initiatives

The City of Moab Regular Planning Commission Meeting held on July 10, 2025, focused on community engagement regarding transportation initiatives. The discussion began with a member expressing concerns about the level of community interest in transitioning from gas vehicles to alternative options.

The member noted that while they had spoken to a few individuals, there seemed to be a lack of widespread community response. They referenced a previous comment by another member, Corey, questioning whether the community truly supports such initiatives. The sentiment was that if there is insufficient interest, the proposal could be postponed for future consideration.

The conversation highlighted the ongoing reliance on gas vehicles among residents, indicating that any potential shift towards alternative transportation would require more robust community support and feedback.

In conclusion, the meeting underscored the importance of gauging community interest before advancing transportation initiatives, suggesting that further outreach may be necessary to determine the best path forward.
