State of Good Repair (SOGR) UTA cost for system wide state of good repair $4.3 billion Utah County’s share is 15% or $645M UTA is assuming 100 % depreciation value of its current infrastructure
Bottom Line The financial scenario is such that even after a quarter cent tax increase in 2020, we are unable to build a significant transit capital project within the time frame of the Long Range Plan. In summary, the plan will likely include a 70% increase in bus service and construction of commuter rail operational and station upgrades. Additional, revenue would change that.

From November 2014 MPO Finance Committee meeting
Current Project List w/o and with SOGR
Ridership as if we built it all as LRT 2040 Modeled Ridership: CR South to Payson 7,637 CR South to Santaquin 648 LRT Draper to Orem 20,851 LRT Draper to Lehi BRT AF to EM 1,754 BRT AF to Provo 7,826 BRT Provo to SF 2,979 BRT SF to Payson 413
Option 2: SOGR at 50% w/o 4 th Qtr. Can build Segmented LRT and other BRT projects. No Commuter Rail South
Option 3: SOGR at 50% with 4 th Qtr. Can Build LRT to Orem OR Commuter Rail South and BRT Projects with Significant Bonding
Option 4: SOGR at 100% with 4 th Qtr. Can build LRT to Orem OR Commuter Rail South with BRT Projects. Reasonable Bonding
Option 5: SOGR at 100% with 4 th QTR Can build Commuter Rail South OR LRT to Orem with BRT Projects. Reasonable Bonding
Option 6: SOGR at 100% with 4 th Qtr. Build segmented LRT to Lehi AND Commuter Rail South and one BRT along State Street between American Fork and Provo.
