WFRC awards $1.5 million through TLC program to 13 community planning projects
Summary
WFRC announced 13 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards totaling just over $1.5 million in regional and partner funds to support small‑area plans, code updates, ADA and corridor studies across cities in the region.
WFRC announced its 2025 Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) awards at the March 27 council meeting. CED director Meg Pagen said the program awarded just over $1.5 million in WFRC/partner funds this year, supplemented by more than $200,000 in local matches from participating jurisdictions.
Program and recipients
TLC funds technical assistance for planning projects that tie transportation and land use together. The 2025 awards include 13 projects in three primary categories:
- Small area plans/centers: Murray Oakwood Village Center small area plan; Riverdale Streamtown master plan; South Ogden City Center master plan.
- Citywide plans and ordinance updates: Mill Creek ADA transition plan (building on a sidewalk and trails master plan), Sandy land use development code updates, South Salt Lake zoning ordinance update, Hooper city zoning and design standards, Plains City general plan and land use code updates, and an in‑house general plan for Toole City.
- Contextual transportation projects: Kearns 5400 South corridor study, South Davis Greenway Feasibility Study (led by North Salt Lake but including multiple cities), and Municipal Services District transportation master plan.
Meg Pagen said the program is competitive (this year’s demand was roughly 3:1) and that staff encourage jurisdictions that were not funded to reapply and discuss application improvements with WFRC staff. She noted an interactive map is available showing past TLC projects and outcomes.
Quotations
"This program seeks to implement the Wasatch Choice vision. The goals are to maximize the value of investment in public infrastructure, enhance access to opportunities, increase travel options, and create communities with opportunities to live, work and play," Meg Pagen said.
Ending
WFRC staff said project teams will begin work with local jurisdictions, and that the TLC pipeline remains competitive; staff encouraged cities to reapply if they were not selected in this funding round.
