The Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Transit Authority are advancing a nearly $1 billion light rail project to address increasing congestion and rapid growth in the corridor between Draper and Lehi.

The proposed 10-mile transit system would connect southern Salt Lake County to northern Utah County and include a future stop at The Point, the large development planned at the former state prison site.

Officials have identified the Light Rail System as the locally preferred alternative in a new environmental assessment, the Point of the Mountain Transit Project NEPA Environmental Assessment, which is now open for public review and comment through July 10, 2025.
