Member Briefing on S.B. 195 Transportation Amendments: Learn About and Weigh In on Transportation Policy Changes Impacting Salt Lake City

The Salt Lake Chamber invites you to a member briefing on the progress and implications of S.B. 195, Transportation Amendments, passed during the 2025 Legislative Session and sponsored by Sen. Wayne Harper.

A major component of this legislation revises how Salt Lake City’s “highway reduction strategies” are reviewed — defined as any approach that could permanently reduce the number of vehicles able to travel on an arterial or collector road per hour. This includes lane reductions, lane narrowing or other changes that could impact traffic flow and increase congestion.

Currently, two formal studies are underway to carry out the directives of S.B. 195. The Salt Lake Chamber has representation on both study committees and is committed to ensuring the voice of the business community is heard.

This briefing will provide:

• Updates from the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and Salt Lake City on the current status and direction of the studies.
• An opportunity for members to ask questions and offer feedback before the studies are finalized.

We encourage you to submit questions in advance to help guide the discussion and ensure your priorities are addressed.

In addition, UDOT is seeking public input via an online survey, and we strongly urge you to participate and share your perspective. Survey closes August 6.
