Transit Study Update Finalized
The Point of the Mountain (POM) Transit Study Update has been finalized, which documents the additional planning and design efforts completed since the original Transit Study was finished in 2021. This effort concludes the current Point of the Mountain Transit Project effort. The Final Transit Study Update can be found here on the Transit Study page.
Environmental Assessment Complete - Nov. 2025
The POM Transit Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared and available for public review from June 10 to July 10, 2025. After consideration of the comments received, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the lead federal agency on the POM Transit project, issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), as the project proponents, documented the comments and responses in the FONSI.
What's Next?
Moving forward, UDOT and UTA will continue working closely with local government leaders and planning organizations to determine the short-term, Phase 1 implementation plan (shuttles and Innovative Mobility Zones) and will track opportunities for additional funding to implement Phase 2 Light Rail Transit in the future. For more information on project phasing, please see Section 8.4 of the Transit Study Update.
UDOT and UTA will continue to coordinate with WFRC on updating the Regional Transportation Plan to modify the Project northern terminus to connect to the future FrontRunner Bluffdale Station. Please refer to Section 8.3.1 of the Transit Study Update for additional information.
Additionally, if a major funding allocation becomes available in the future, UDOT and UTA will work with key stakeholders to look at a potential TRAX Blue Line extension consistent with Mountainland Association of Governments’ (MAG) Board motion from the October 9, 2025, meeting.
Project Background
UDOT and UTA are working together in partnership to provide high-capacity transit between the cities of Draper and Lehi in northern Utah, with up to 11 stations and other supporting facilities. The purpose of the project is to provide fast, frequent, and reliable transit service; improve mobility along the I-15 corridor; and support growth and development plans in southern Salt Lake County and northern Utah County. LRT has been selected as the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA), which would be implemented using a phased approach.
