UTA OKs $400M-plus construction plan that includes new airport TRAX station and Ogden bus rapid transit

The Utah Transit Authority Board on Wednesday approved a five-year, $463 million plan for construction projects and purchases of new equipment.

It includes $18.6 million to relocate the TRAX rail station at Salt Lake City International Airport amid renovations there; $91.9 million for a new bus rapid transit line in Ogden; and $48.6 million for ongoing construction of a new maintenance and fueling station in downtown Salt Lake City.

The plan also calls for $169.8 million in new vehicle purchases through 2024. It also identifies $10 million next year to double-track part of the FrontRunner train line in Utah County, in part to allow a new station in the fast-growing city of Vineyard.
