WFRC is the regional planning agency (MPO + AOG) for the 6 counties along Utah's Wasatch Front. Currently implementing the

The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) is an association of governments comprised of elected officials from Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Morgan, Box Elder, and Tooele counties. Our region is among the fastest growing areas in the United States. The way we grow will largely determine the quality of life for generations to come. Through the WFRC, local governments and community members from Salt Lake, Davis, Weber, Morgan, Box Elder, and Tooele counties come together to plan for our future. The Wasatch Choice 2050 is the region's "vision" for growth and development. The adopted 2015 - 2040 Regional Transportation Plan will serve the region's transportation needs over the next 25 years.

🗺️ : Connecting Community Plans to Investment

What happens when community planning meets private investment? It creates new opportunities for housing, jobs, and better connections to the places people need to go.

On September 24, 2026, Governor Spencer Cox recommended 37 census tracts across Utah for the next round of federal Opportunity Zones, including 18 in the WFRC region.

Opportunity Zones offer tax incentives that encourage private investment to expand housing, grow businesses, and create more opportunities in areas that need it most. Many of Utah’s recommended zones overlap with or are near Wasatch Choice Vision centers and station area plans, creating opportunities to build on community priorities and existing investments.

🗺️ It’s !

With cooler weather on the way, now is a great time to explore the parks, pathways, and trails near you.

Our Access to Parks and Trails map shows where residents can reach nearby parks, family-friendly multi-use pathways, and trailheads within a 5- or 10-minute walk.

The map was updated this summer with current park and trail facilities and now includes public school play spaces.

Small communities often have big ambitions, but limited staff capacity can make it challenging to keep up with everything that comes with growth.

Through WFRC’s Local Administrative Advisor (LAA) program, we helped Plain City with staffing and recruitment guidance to hire the city’s first part-time planner. That means dedicated planning expertise is now available locally to help guide growth, pursue funding opportunities, and support community development.

Building local capacity is an important part of regional planning. By supporting communities beyond individual projects, WFRC helps local leaders build the tools and expertise they need to make informed decisions for years to come.

We’re proud to highlight Plain City in our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report and the many ways our work supports communities across the Wasatch Front. Thank you to our partners, the Utah League of Cities and Towns, and the Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget, for supporting this crucial program.

More than 15 years ago, the Midvalley Express (MVX) corridor was identified in the Regional Transportation Plan as a priority for improving east-west travel.

Today, that long-range vision is moving people.

MVX officially launched in April 2026, connecting Murray City, Taylorsville City, and West Valley City while providing access to destinations. The route also connects riders to the broader transit network, including FrontRunner and TRAX.

Turning a long-range plan into a project on the ground takes years of collaboration. Through coordination with the Utah Transit Authority, Utah DOT, and local governments, the project advanced into the Transportation Improvement Program and secured the funding needed for implementation.

MVX is a great example of how regional planning can turn a vision for the future into a transportation investment people can use today, and we’re proud to highlight it in our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report.

What can happen when a community builds on the transit investments it already has?

South Salt Lake's Downtown Connect plan creates a long-term vision for a vibrant, mixed-use district centered around the Central Pointe TRAX and South Salt Lake Streetcar stations.

The plan looks at opportunities for new housing, safer walking and biking connections, expanded public spaces, and stronger connections to Parley’s Trail and the regional transit network.

The plan also supports the city’s approved Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone (HTRZ), helping position the area for future redevelopment and investment.

Through Station Area Planning, WFRC works with communities and the Utah Transit Authority to explore how transportation, land use, housing, and public spaces can come together to support connected, accessible places.

Downtown Connect is a great example of how station area planning can help communities build on existing investments and create a vision for the future, and we’re proud to highlight it in our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report.

Good planning can make a difference on the ground, from improving a challenging intersection to helping communities prepare for future growth.

In Roy City, a priority intersection at 3100 West and 6000 South was identified through the city’s Master Plan and programmed in WFRC’s Transportation Improvement Program. The city selected a single-lane roundabout to improve traffic control, manage speeds, and create better conditions for people walking and driving.

This project demonstrates how local planning, regional programming, and targeted investment can come together to address transportation needs and improve conditions for people traveling throughout the community.

We’re proud to highlight this local transportation improvement in our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report.

Communities across the Wasatch Front are planning for the future in different ways, and WFRC’s Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) program helps bring those local priorities into focus.

In the City of Holladay, TLC supported the city’s General Plan Update, helping create a new vision for the community’s future and a modern, accessible resource for residents.

In Western Weber, the program is supporting an Active Transportation Plan that brings cities and Weber County together to identify priorities, connect existing plans and improvements, and explore funding opportunities for walking and biking projects.

In Clearfield City, TLC supported a Transportation Master Plan to guide future infrastructure, development, and redevelopment while improving transportation choices, street connectivity, and coordination between land use and transportation.

And in South Davis County, TLC supported a feasibility study for the proposed South Davis Greenway, a 10.8-mile shared-use path connecting North Salt Lake, Bountiful, Centerville, and Farmington. The project would fill a major gap in active transportation and improve regional connections for people walking and biking.

TLC helps communities turn local priorities into thoughtful plans, and we’re proud to highlight this work in our Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Report. Thank you to our partners for supporting this essential program: Utah Transit Authority - UTA, Utah DOT, & Utah Governor's Office of Planning and Budget.
