UTA officials are 'pretty optimistic' about Utah's ability to receive federal funding to study the possibility of commuter rail service to Idaho and Nevada.
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Transit Authority officials say they are "pretty optimistic" about Utah's ability to receive federal funding that will help state transportation officials study the possibility of restoring commuter rail service to Idaho and Nevada in the near future.
The Idaho Transportation Department applied for the same grant to help study the same service between Boise and Salt Lake City in coordination with UDOT, UTA and the city of Boise. The three states should know later this year whether they will get the grants to study the idea further, according to Fox.
Fox explained that UTA became involved because he believes it would not only build public transportation options in the region but could also enhance the commuter rail service that already exists across the Wasatch Front through the FrontRunner.
