The Transportation and Land Use Connection program is a partnership between the Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), Salt Lake County, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), and Utah Transit Authority (UTA).

The TLC program provides technical assistance to local communities to help them achieve their goals and plan for growth. The program helps communities implement changes to the built environment that reduce traffic on roads and enable more people to easily walk, bike, and use transit. This approach is consistent with the Wasatch Choice Vision and helps residents living throughout the region enjoy a high quality of life through enhanced mobility, better air quality, and improved economic opportunities. The application period for TLC follows that of other funding programs at WFRC. Letters of Intent are due September, applications are due in December. Awards for this program are made in March. The TAG program, described below, follows the same schedule and utilizes a shared application.

TLC now has an additional Ordinance Assistance opportunity to help communities assess how their local ordinances fit their planning goals. Wasatch Front Regional Council staff will work with local staff, appointed officials, and/or elected officials to understand the community’s ordinance needs and conduct the audit at no-cost to the local communities. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.
