LIGHT RAIL TRANSIT FOR THE SALT LAKE VALLEY: A PANACEA? AT WHAT PRICE? HEARING BEFORE A SUBCOMMITTEE, COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, 100TH CONGRESS, 2D SESSION, FEBRUARY 22, 1988

This hearing was conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah. It concerned the proposal of light rail transit for Salt Lake Valley, the I-15 corridor. Federal, State, and local governments would have to bear the costs, estimated to be approximately $200 million. Commuter traffic congestion in the I-15 corridor necessitates a solution. The cost of a light rail transit system makes it a viable option. Light rail costs more than a bus system, but less than a heavy rail system or a rapid transit system. The hearing includes testimony, prepared statements, and other material submitted for the record.
