Solutions Development The UDOT Planning Division has developed a corridor planning process, called Solutions Development, that invites local governments and partner agencies to understand and implement quality of life principles. Solutions Development relies on being context-based, holistic, and multimodal when looking at future corridor needs. The process also bridges the gap between short and long-range transportation planning by anticipating needs in a five to 15 year time frame, and provides a lens to view the corridor through other department efforts, such as asset management, risk and resiliency, and environmental processes. Transportation and Land Use Connection (TLC) The TLC is a technical assistance grant program helps local communities achieve a high quality of life through enhanced mobility, better air quality, and improved economic opportunities. Administered by the Wasatch Front Regional Council, in partnership with Salt Lake County, Utah Transit Authority and UDOT, TLC funding helps communities plan for growth and make changes to the built environment that reduce traffic and enable more people to easily walk, bike, and use transit.
