• LRP team – UDOT, Bio-West, InterPlan, WSA• Foster better communication and understanding between the Regions and Planning• Regions were the key - Bottom up, not top down• Regions - project driven• Needs by region by phase (2010-2020, 2021-2030, 2031-2040, & unfunded)

• Value-added: “this is what our analysis shows, what do you think?”• Needs to projects w/ region involvement• Fiscally constrained• Tiered by type of project • PI : Libraries, RPOs, MPOs, UDOT & uPLAN websites• Streamlined document

• Utah Statewide Travel Model (USTM) - developed (Phase I) and calibrated (Phase II) - 2007-2009• Currently daily vehicle and truck model – “match the maps”• Whole state, including MPOs – but focus is on rural and “emerging” areas. Supplements, doesn’t replace, MPO models• LRP was one of the apps for which USTM was built

• Regional briefing – LRP process and USTM• Deficiencies (capacity needs) by region• Improvements (projects) to resolve deficiencies • No-Build – 2008, 2020, 2030, 2040, unfunded “needs”• Baseline (w/ MPO projects) – 2008, 2020, 2030, 2040, unfunded “needs”

• Regional review, then iterated model runs• Some projects moved to different phases or deleted (based on funding) after iterations• Model results input to project fact sheets
