Tooele Valley RPO lays out schedule to update regional transportation plan ahead of mid‑2027 statewide updates
Summary
WFRC proposed a multi-step timeline to update the Tooele Valley RPO Transportation Plan so regional input can inform the Statewide Transportation Plan; milestones set for April, June, September and an October public comment period.
Wayne Bennion of the Wasatch Front Regional Council outlined a proposed schedule for updating the Tooele Valley RPO Transportation Plan with the goal of aligning regional input ahead of mid-2027 statewide plan updates. Bennion recommended a phased approach: April 2026 to identify additional needed highway projects, June 2026 to identify phasing for those projects, September 2026 to identify active transportation and transit needs, and October 2026 for a public comment period.
Bennion said the schedule is intended to provide early input to UDOT, UTA and metropolitan planning organizations and to avoid overlapping public comment periods. No formal action to adopt the schedule was recorded in the meeting minutes; the schedule was presented for consideration and coordination.
Why it matters: A coordinated schedule increases the chance that regional priorities are incorporated into the Statewide Transportation Plan and helps prevent conflicting public comment windows across agencies.
