Wasatch Front Regional Council?

I have been reading lately from the website of the Wasatch Front Regional Council. These are the guys that really know what is going on. They make plans for the Wasatch Front and it's highways and transit systems. By the way, you can find them at: http://www.wfrc.org/cms/. 

On May 24, 2007, they adopted the "Wasatch Front Regional Transportation Plan 2007-2030." I haven't read the entire document, but one aspect that I found interesting, there is no recommendation for any fixed rail transit in Davis County other than FrontRunner. Now, this is from the holy grail of transportation documents. This publication discusses roads, highways, buses, enhanced and rapid buses, bicycle trails, park and ride lots, trains, light rail, streetcars, population patterns, etc. I think this document knows our travel plans for the summer!

Use the following link to look at the "2030 RTP Transit Project Type" map:

The recommendation for South Davis County is bus transportation! 

Maybe I will buy one of the books that contain this "plan" and give it to the UTA. They must have lost their copy.
