EXPOSING UDOT's CRISIS OF BIAS, WASTE & FLAWS

ADVOCATING REAL SOLUTIONS FOR ROAD SAFETY & CONGESTION

Governor Cox: You Have the Power to End This Crisis and Wasteful Project
You have the power to end this crisis and wasteful project and pivot to real, low-cost solutions immediately — and all it takes is one short, decisive executive directive to UDOT:

“Effective immediately, I direct the Utah Department of Transportation to:

1.  Suspend and terminate all further planning, design, engineering, procurement, and permitting for the Phase 3 gondola in Little Cottonwood Canyon;

2. Withdraw UDOT’s support for the July 12, 2023 Record of Decision selecting the gondola alternative and formally notify the Federal Highway Administration of this withdrawal;

3. Reallocate all gondola-programmed funds to proven, low-cost alternatives including permanent top-of-canyon snowplow deployment, expanded electric bus service, and targeted road improvements;

4. Halt all right-of-way acquisitions, land purchases, and eminent domain proceedings related to the gondola project.

That single directive — signed by you — would:

• End the ongoing lawsuits and stop Utah taxpayers from funding both sides of the litigation 
• Save every Utah household an estimated $1,000–$1,700
  
• Deliver real winter safety and mobility improvements this season instead of a fantasy ski gondola decades away
  
• Prevent further irreversible land takings and protect private property rights
  
• Align you with the growing bipartisan majority of Utahns who oppose this $2 billion boondoggle
