Several types of federal funds are allocated to Utah each year by congress for use on transportation facilities in the rural and small urban areas of the state. In addition to these funds, specific dollars are also set aside for bridges on the local system in all areas of the state. In Utah, the Joint Highway Committee (JHC) provides coordination and yearly project recommendations to the Utah Transportation Commission for the use of these federal funds. The Joint Highway Committee is made up of representatives from Utah counties and cities. They meet twice a year and make project recommendations each spring to the Utah Transportation Commission. They also make recommendations for the use of state provided state park access funds.
The Utah State Legislature recognizes the need for adequate sidewalk and pedestrian safety amenities and state policy affirms the need to include pedestrian safety considerations for all projects where foot-travel is a significant factor. The Safe Sidewalk Program provides a legislative funding source for construction of new sidewalks adjacent to state routes where sidewalks do not currently exist and where major construction or reconstruction is not planned for ten or more years.
There is growing concern in Utah and nationally about the safety of children who walk or bike to school. With increased traffic congestion around schools, students who choose to walk or bike have limited safe routes, which discourages this healthy activity. To assist in addressing this public safety and health issue, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) provides Utah schools with walking and biking safety resources through the UDOT Safe Routes Utah Program, and the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program.
These funds are available for transportation alternatives projects like pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, community improvements such as historic preservation and vegetation management, and environmental mitigation related to stormwater and habitat connectivity.
