Brian Head pauses Transportation Utility Fee; council seeks resort input before moving forward

May 26, 2026

Consultants and town staff presented the findings of a Transportation Utility Fee study to the Brian Head Town Council on May 12 that proposed charging monthly equivalent residential units (ERUs) to help close the town's road-funding gap.
