Utah’s Unified Transportation Plan and UDOT authored a study in 2011 which projected a road funding shortfall of roughly $11.3 billion by 2040. In another study published by The Utah Foundation in January 2015, city and county engineers, managers, and council members were polled, revealing that at least 82 percent of city respondents and 95 percent of county respondents believed that transportation funding was not adequate for their areas. This indicated to researchers that a lack of road funding may be holding local municipalities and counties back from potential growth, pedestrian safety, and necessary maintenance.
