WFRC was pleased to join the Utah Transit Authority, the Utah DOT, MAG - Mountainland Association of Governments, and other Utah transit and transportation partners for Transit Day on the Hill.

This event is an opportunity to engage with legislators, share the importance of continued investment in transit, and recognize the strong partnership between state leaders, transportation agencies, and local communities that helps keep Utah moving.

As Utah continues to grow and prepares to welcome the world for the 2034 Winter Olympics, conversations like these help ensure our transportation system is ready to meet future mobility needs.

We’re grateful for the many partners working together to help move Utah forward.

Connecting, learning, and collaborating in Tulsa!

WFRC Council Chair Mayor Dawn Ramsey, Council Vice Chair Commissioner Bob Stevenson, Executive Director Andrew Gruber, and Deputy Director Ted Knowlton joined regional leaders from across the country at the 60th Annual Conference of the National Association of Regional Councils (NARC).

Participants from around the nation shared ideas and innovative approaches to tackling regional issues, including transportation, economic development, and housing, today and into the future.

During the conference, Mayor Ramsey moderated a discussion on innovative local funding strategies for regional planning, while Commissioner Stevenson co-chaired NARC's Transportation Committee meeting focused on federal transportation policy and advocacy.

We're grateful for the opportunity to learn from our peers and bring new perspectives back to the Wasatch Region as we continue planning for the future.

It’s National Bike Month, and for this week’s , we’re highlighting the Utah Bikeways Map! 🚲

A few things that make this map especially useful:

1️⃣ Explore all kinds of bikeways — paved trails and on-street bike lanes, etc. — across the state.
2️⃣ View routes by comfort level using “Traffic Stress” ratings.
3️⃣ Help keep the map current by leaving comments directly on the map.
4️⃣ Zoom into your community, and the map automatically creates a custom URL you can easily share or embed on your own website.

WFRC partners with local cities and counties to help maintain and improve the map so residents can better explore their communities by bike.

One way WFRC shares expertise and collaborates with partners is by presenting at local conferences — and our team was well represented at this year’s Utah Geographic Information Council (UGIC) Conference! 👏

Sarah Lawless won the Iron Cartographer competition for the second year in a row after creating a map of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in just two hours, and Josh Reynolds shared WFRC’s Household and Job Forecast along with interactive web maps supporting the data.

From forecasting to mapping tools, this work supports informed transportation and land use planning across Utah.

The Utah Association of Counties wrapped up another great Legislative Management Conference this week in St. George! It was a valuable opportunity to connect with county leaders, legislators, and elected officials statewide to engage in thoughtful dialogue around governance, leadership, and legislative priorities.

Conversations like these help keep us all moving in the same direction as we plan for strong, connected communities across the Wasatch Front and all of Utah.
