This wide-ranging transportation bill makes numerous changes to how Utah manages roads, transit, towing, and transportation funding. Among other things, it would let cities and towns prohibit mobile food trucks and similar businesses from operating on streets or sidewalks temporarily closed for special events, require commercial electric vehicles weighing over 6,001 pounds to pay a higher road usage charge, and exempt buses and transit vehicles from lane-line rules when pulling into stops or making route adjustments. It would also exempt UDOT from certain property-conveyance rules, create a sales tax exemption for construction materials used in public transit capital projects, expand allowed uses of local option sales taxes and commuter rail bonding, give the Transportation Commission more flexibility to direct transit investment funds toward preserving future transportation corridors, and allow UDOT to waive sovereign immunity for public transit projects. Additional provisions would let UDOT's executive director act with expanded authority during natural disasters, require local governments receiving certain highway project funds to report on spending and progress, change rules for towing dispatch services and fees, and replace an existing study on highway reduction strategies with specific codified requirements based on that study's findings.
