With skills like those used by ENRON, UTA has lied about the effect this will have on congestion. They have misrepresented costs and ridership.

The analysis they did for the Federal Transit
Administration showed only 3,724 new riders, NET, on UTA system by 2030, as a result of this train.

That is a drop in the bucket compared to the 2.07 million trips on southwest valley roads by 2030, forecast by WFRC engineers.

UTA, deceptively claimed in the Downtown Alliance 2015 report that MidJordan would carry 25,000 to 30,000 by 2025. This is ENRON sleaze so typical of UTA managment.

Kenneth Lay at UTA makes UTA Utah's ENRON.

Mr Utah Transport,
The numbers you quote look like garbage. And your comparison to Enron is moronic. Quit wasting our time.
Sincerely,
Common Sense
