The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) issue this early scoping notice to advise other agencies and the public that they intend to explore potential alternatives for improving public transportation service to and within the central Wasatch Mountains of Salt Lake County and Summit County, Utah.

The early scoping process is intended to support a future National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) scoping process, as appropriate.
