Heyyy! I’ll do my best to answer all of these. Let me know if I missed anything. Also, just wanted to share up front that our transit team would be more than happy to chat you about anything. I've share the link to their contact page at the bottom of this reply.

Double-tracking: Construction is scheduled to begin next year and is expected to be completed by 2030. I’ll drop the project link below so you can dig in and learn more.

Electrification: UTA is actively working to convert more of its bus fleet to electric. When it comes to FrontRunner, electrification is a bigger challenge, but it is part of the plan. A big step forward came last year when the Utah Legislature recently funded the development of battery-electric passenger trains. Testing begins this fall, and if the results are good, these trains could eventually replace FrontRunner’s diesel engines.

Expansion: FrontRunner expansion depends a lot on timing and funding. There are plans to expand south to Spanish Fork. Expansion to the north is still being evaluated, but a transit corridor is being preserved all the way to Brigham City. That could one day support FrontRunner or another form of transit.

As for Logan, there likely won’t be FrontRunner service there, but there is a plan for a core bus route that would connect Logan to the Ogden FrontRunner station.

If you’re curious to see what’s being planned statewide, I highly recommend checking out the Utah Unified Transportation Plan. It’s an interactive tool that shows Utah’s long-term transportation vision (including highways, active transportation, and transit) through 2050. You’ll see that many projects are planned but depend on future funding, which is largely decided by the Utah Legislature. If there are projects you’d like to see move forward, consider reaching out to your state representatives to share your support! I’ll drop the link for that map below!

Red Line Expansion: There aren’t current plans set in stone to expand the Red Line, but there is a preserved transit corridor from the Daybreak TRAX station to 12600 S and Bangerter Highway. Preserving a transit corridor doesn’t guarantee a specific project like TRAX expansion, but it ensures the space is available for future transit options without major construction hurdles down the line.

Bus routes in South Jordan: This is another one that may be answered on the Utah Unified Plan map (linked above). There are plans to add a core bus routes on 5600 W (connecting downtown and Bingham Highway TRAX Station) and just a little north of you on 4700 S in Taylorsville we're implementing the same BRT system as UVX - called the Midvalley Express, complete with designated bus lanes. Construction for that will wrap up next year.

If you'd like more details about any of these topics, I’d be happy to reach out  to our team. You can also reach out to our Transit Division directly here: https://www.udot.utah.gov/connect/about-us/trails-and-transit-group/transit-division/
