Point of the Mountain Transit Project Update
The Point of the Mountain (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, has 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.
A FONSI is defined as a document issued by a federal agency that states why a proposed action would not have a significant effect on the environment and why an environmental impact statement will not be prepared. A link to the FONSI is available for review below.
What's Next?
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 to identify opportunities for additional funding to implement Phase 2 (Light Rail Transit [LRT]) in the future.

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.
