The final piece of the funding puzzle for Utah Transit Authority’s TRAX light rail line to the Salt Lake City suburb of Draper was put in place on Dec. 12. Federal Transit Authority Administrator Peter M. Rogoff presented $116 million in federal funds to UTA and Draper city officials to help complete the rail extension.
The FTA funds mark the last of the monies needed for UTA’s ambitious $2.8-billion Front Lines 2015 program, which is building 70 miles of commuter rail along the Wasatch Front over the next four years.
