Most Utah cities and counties say they aren’t getting enough funding to properly maintain their roads.
A new study from the Utah Foundation finds 82% of Utah cities and 92% of Utah counties say their transportation funding isn’t sufficient to meet their current needs.
Despite the recent focus on expanding and maintaining the freeways, that’s just a quarter of the roadways in the state. The other 3/4ths are under local jurisdictions.
The foundation study revealed Utah’s local roads are at a tipping point. Half of them are in “excellent or good” condition, while the other half are in “fair to poor” condition.
