FARMINGTON — Moving people more freely between Salt Lake and Davis counties through the use of public transit is a significant enough traffic concern that county officials are willing to help fund a south Davis County transit study.
The Davis County Commission recently agreed to put $7,500 toward the South Davis County Alternatives Analysis, a Utah Transit Authority study that will look at creating a regional public transit plan with Salt Lake City.
The county’s contribution to the study, to begin in 2013, is part of a collective pool of $60,000 to which local entities will contribute. The pool money will provide the matching funds necessary to qualify for an additional $360,000 grant from the Federal Transit Administration.
