Ben Witch, a WFRC staff member, presented the draft 2027–2032 Transportation Improvement Program recommended to the regional council and explained when and how the public can review it. "These projects will be out for public review and comment beginning the last Saturday of June and we'll go through the month of July to the first Saturday," Witch said.
Witch told the TransCom technical advisory committee that TransCom approved a set of projects at its April meeting and that the regional council will consider those recommendations tomorrow. He outlined project distributions across programs and subregions, saying the Ogden‑Layton STP recommendations totaled about $17.8 million and the Salt Lake area recommendations totaled about $24.9 million. He also listed SEAMAC, carbon reduction and TAP projects and said project tables (roughly 100 pages of project listings) will be sent to TAC members and posted online for review.
Why it matters: the TIP translates regional priorities into a six‑year, federally required programming document; four years are funded and two years are advanced as concept development. Witch urged members to check maps and tables and to submit corrections by email so that project descriptions and locations are accurate before public release.
At the start of the meeting the committee also approved the Feb. 25 and March 25 meeting minutes; Daniel moved to approve both minutes and Boyd seconded. The chair announced a unanimous vote.
The regional council’s expected next step is to adopt the draft for public review; the WFRC will then accept comments through the July window and return a final recommendation after the public‑comment period.
