Revolutionary Transportation Planning Improves Quality of Life in Salt Lake City
Wasatch Choices 2040 is a project that aims to improve transportation planning in the Salt Lake City region by involving the public in decision-making. By gathering input from community members, the project developed regional growth principles that have been adopted by officials. The project showed that making small changes to land use can greatly improve transportation efficiency, leading to a better quality of life for residents. The new approach to planning has been successful in creating a regional vision that outperforms the existing long-range plan in terms of reducing congestion.
