A 21st-century traffic strategy.
I'm fighting for smart intersections to cut idling time, expanded micro-transit for easier local trips, and the immediate preservation of rail corridors. Let's clear the path for a faster commute to Salt Lake before development blocks our options forever.
Growth in Tooele County and across our district isn't slowing down, and neither is traffic — unless we plan for it now. A 21st-century traffic strategy means using smarter tools today so our commutes aren't unbearable tomorrow.
Smart intersections that adjust signal timing in real time can cut idling time at the exact spots where our district feels the most congestion, without a single new lane of pavement.
Expanded micro-transit gives residents an easy, affordable way to make short local trips without a car, connecting neighborhoods to the bigger transit network instead of forcing everyone back onto the road.
Most urgent of all is the immediate preservation of rail corridors. Once that land is developed over, the option is gone forever. Let's protect the path for a faster commute to Salt Lake City before development blocks our options for good.
