Wasatch Front Regional Council

@RepBurgessOwens It was terrific to meet with you, Representative Owens, and talk about Utah's growth and transportation plans.

I was grateful to meet with the Wasatch Front Regional Council here in DC. Utah is the greatest state in the Union and I am grateful for these good and engaged leaders helping to ensure that we are being smart and thoughtful about our growth and planning.

@saltlakechamber Looking forward to it! Bring your transportation planning questions!

Thank you to our House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee members, @RepBurgessOwens and @RepMikeKennedy, and our Senate Environmental & Public Works Committee member @SenJohnCurtis! #RegionalPlanning #WhereMatters #UnitedForInfrastructure #MPOs

Wrapped up a great Infrastructure Week in D.C.! We had productive discussions with our Congressional delegation about the upcoming transportation reauthorization bill and coordinated with MPO peers from across the country. #InfrastructureWeek #TransportationPlanning

In Utah, 80% of our ozone comes from background sources — either naturally occurring or transported from other countries. This shift allows EPA to account for the intermountain west’s unique conditions — allowing us to address air quality while advancing transportation projects.

The visit was a great chance to highlight Utah’s success and build support for our priorities. We also welcomed Administrator Zeldin’s important announcement that would help Utah meet air quality standards.

State leaders were thrilled to welcome U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin to the Beehive State! We shared Utah’s collaborative approach to planning and building transportation projects.

Exciting news! The new @southjordancity Downtown TRAX station is now open! We’re happy to support this station through regional planning efforts, helping to increase transportation choices and thoughtful development in the area. Take a ride and experience it yourself!

It’s #MapMonday! Well-connected streets reduce congestion and make walking, biking, and driving easier. Our Map of the Month highlights Street Connectivity across the Wasatch Front & Back! Check out street connectivity in your region today: wfrc.org/street-connect…

Thanks to everyone who joined us at #MapsOnTheHill! It was inspiring to discuss how maps & GIS help shape our region's transportation & planning. Special shoutout to Lt. Gov. Diedre Henderson for exploring the #WasatchChoiceVision with us. 🗺️WFRC maps: maps.wfrc.org

We absolutely agree with @mschultz_12! We are grateful for the legislature's leadership and commitment to multi-modal transportation.  And we are proud of our collaboration and plans that make these investments so fruitful.  Let's keep moving forward!

Welcome, Samantha DeSeelhorst! Samantha joins WFRC on the Long Range Planning team. In her new role, she’ll help shape WFRC’s long-term transportation plans, driven by her passion for mobility and public transit. Welcome aboard, Samantha! 👏

WFRC and @utah_mag had the opportunity to meet with the Utah Congressional Delegation this week to highlight issues of importance to MPOs and the critical need for continued federal investment in Utah’s transportation system. Thank you to our reps & their staff for their time!

Today's #MapMonday features our HTRZ Eligible Areas Map! A key #WasatchChoiceVision strategy is creating walkable centers—places to live, work & play w/access to jobs, education & commerce. HTRZs boost dev near transit by leveraging future tax revenue. 🗺️bit.ly/HTRZMap

Another terrific #UtahEO Summit is in the books! Hosted by the @saltlakechamber and @KemGardnerInst, this event gathers policy thought leaders to discuss Utah's economic future and the upcoming legislative session. Let's go #2025LegislativeSession!

It was exciting to attend the @NASEMTRB Annual Meeting in D.C.! The TRB meeting is a great opportunity to connect with transportation professionals, share insights, and learn about the latest research and innovations shaping the future of mobility. #TRBAM #transportationresearch

Congrats to our new & returning state & local elected officials as they take office this month! From the Gov. and Lt. Gov. to our state legislators & county & city elected officials, you all play an integral role in guiding Utah’s growth. We look forward to working with you!
