WFRC announces 13 TLC awards totaling nearly $2 million for planning and implementation
Summary
The Wasatch Front Regional Council awarded 13 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) grants covering small area plans, ordinance updates and contextual transportation studies, with roughly $1.5 million from TLC and $400k in local match.
Byron Head, planner in WFRC's community and economic development group, briefed the Active Transportation Committee on the 2025 round of Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards.
Head said the TLC program, now in its 12th year, provides technical assistance and implementation funding to local communities to align land use and transportation. This year WFRC awarded 13 projects totaling nearly $2,000,000, of which roughly $1.5 million came from TLC and about $400,000 as local match.
The awards fall into three main categories: small area plans for Wasatch Choice centers (examples this year include work in Murray, Riverdale and South Ogden); citywide ordinances and plans (seven awards, including a Millcreek Americans with Disabilities Act curb-ramp inventory and transition plan); and contextual transportation projects (three awards), which include a 5400 South corridor study in Kearns anticipating Olympic traffic, a South Davis greenway feasibility study connecting North Salt Lake to Farmington and Bountiful, and a municipal services district transportation master plan for six Salt Lake County communities and adjacent unincorporated areas.
Head said eligible proposals ranged from visionary small-area plans to targeted implementation work, and that more implementation-ready proposals scored higher in the competitive selection process. He noted the next TLC application cycle opens in September; cities and counties that need help with active-transportation or land-use planning are encouraged to apply.
