UTA and partners (HDR, UDOT) presented the FrontRunner 2x project: doubling service frequency by increasing double track, buying ~10 trainsets and a maintenance facility, and pursuing an FTA Core Capacity grant to reduce crowding and improve reliability. Presenters said construction would begin in 2027 with service targeted for 2030; cost estimates are being finalized with FTA and state contributions noted (state ~$845,000,000 referenced). Project details included 16 stations, 83-mile corridor, and significant single-to-double track conversions in Utah County and Lehi; speakers explained noise
