A FrontRunner train heads south Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020, in Orem. 

The Utah Transit Authority will be hosting four public meetings regarding the FrontRunner extension project into south Utah County.

The meetings will provide updates and gather public comments leading up to the project’s preliminary design and environmental review, according to a press release from the agency.

Members of the project team will be in attendance at the meeting to answer questions about possible station locations, the project schedule and the environmental review.

The first meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at the Payson City Center. Three other meetings will be held in June:

  • June 4 from 5-7 p.m. at the Provo Library.
  • June 6 from 5-7 p.m. at the Spanish Fork Library Hall.
  • June 12 from 5-7 p.m. at the Springville Civic Center.

UTA is planning on extending the FrontRunner commuter train further south of Provo, where the line ends, with proposed stops in Springville, Spanish Fork and Payson. The last FrontRunner station in Utah County opened in Vineyard in 2022.

The state also is in the process of double-tracking the FrontRunner line, which would increase service frequency, KUER reported.
