The Commission was directed to consult with representatives of State departments of transportation. This report is the first of six that AASHTO plans to provide to assist the Commission. It contains a comprehensive assessment of transportation needs today and in the future, and the demographic and economic changes that will shape that future.

Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) (a local Metropolitan Planning Organization) incorporated several LRT and BRT projects in its long-term regional transportation plans of 2015 and 2030. After initial success of Light Rail Transit (LRT) and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) deployments to alleviate traffic congestion, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has planned to expand these services. New LRT and BRT services introduced by the UTA will both increase spatial coverage and frequency of overall transit services in the region. However, this increase in public transit coverage and frequency will come at the expense of conflict in priority with vehicular traffic. Goal of this project is to evaluate impact of extended public transit services on vehicular traffic in the region in future years.
