The Federal Transit Administration has agreed to pay UTA for two of the new TRAX lines if UTA pays for the other two new TRAX lines and Commuter Rail South with local funds (those being voted on by the Salt Lake County Council and Utah County Commission).
UTA receives more Federal money for new projects than any other transit agency in the country because Utah has been so progressive with its public transit projects. Each light rail line has been completed under budget and early - something unseen recently in other parts of the country.
If the money for the TRAX lines and commuter rail is reallocated due to presure from some short sighted Utah legislators, we will most likely loose millions in Federal tax dollars!!!!
