WFRC outlines new projects recommended for STP, CMAQ, CRP and TAP programs
Summary
Staff summarized the packages of projects recommended for the 2026–2030 Transportation Improvement Program, including STP, CMAQ, Carbon Reduction and TAP recommendations for the Ogden–Layton and Salt Lake urban areas and an interactive map for public review and comment.
WFRC staff reported to the technical advisory committee on the package of projects recommended for inclusion in the draft 2026–2030 Transportation Improvement Program and described the next steps for public review and comment.
Ben recapped the timeline: letters of intent were solicited in September, concept reports were due in December, and staff completed project evaluations through the winter and spring. The technical advisory committee reviewed project evaluations in March; Transcom and the regional council then reviewed and recommended the projects for the draft TIP.
Ben summarized program totals for the urban areas. He said six STP projects in the Ogden–Layton urban area were recommended, totaling about $10,000,000. In the Salt Lake urban area staff recommended 10 STP projects that Ben summarized as totaling about $22,500,000. Committee members were told the full packet — including UTA and UDOT draft projects plus STP, CMAQ, Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) and TAP projects — will be compiled into an 80-page draft and posted for public review ahead of a comment period that concludes in July; staff will return to the committee in August to report comments received.
Ben described other program counts: a handful of CMAQ projects (two recommended in Ogden–Layton and four in Salt Lake), CRP projects (two in Ogden–Layton and three in Salt Lake), and TAP projects (three in each urban area). He said staff will publish an interactive map that allows users to click on individual segments or projects for details as part of the public review materials.
Committee members asked whether program allocations (STP, CMAQ, TAP) are pre-allocated or come from a single WFRC pot. Ben clarified that funds are allocated to WFRC by program (CMAQ, STP, etc.) and that allocation between Ogden–Layton and Salt Lake urban areas is determined at the federal level by formula.
Staff encouraged members to review the draft packet when distributed, use the interactive map to check project attributes, and bring any comments to the committee during public comment review ahead of transmittal to Transcom and the regional council.
