Transportation Needs

UDOT has heard from the public regarding various transportation needs throughout the state related to general traffic, truck and RV traffic, transit, and walking and biking.

Community members have also identified important quality of life recommendations for the planning process and asked UDOT to consider the following:

  • Better Mobility: infrastructure and capacity improvements for all users, additional transit options, access management agreements on state routes to support sustainable growth, etc.
  • Good Health: roadway safety improvements for all users, additional transit, walking and biking opportunities, air quality, etc.
  • Strong Economy: access to services, additional freight capacity and options, strategic growth and balanced tourism, etc.
  • Connected Communities: social connections, context and character of communities, housing and employment growth, etc.

​

Tina ReeseI-15 through St George should be 3 lanes ALL the way through! So many accidents happen in the spots where the lanes merge down to two, usually involving 3 or more cars because of sudden stops. It is ridiculous!

Agree. I think 3 lanes from Cedar City all the way down to the boarder would be ideal. You get the increase traffic going to St.George from September to May’ish and I’ve seen the freeway backed up for 20+ miles. But St.George REALLY needs better freeway traffic control.

Kirk PlayerSubsidized railroad routes would be great. If the zephyr were cheaper that would be a start but more would be amazing for health and connection.
