The Sharp-Tintic Railroad Connection project is a collaboration of UTA, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Union Pacific Railroad, MAG, Springville, and Spanish Fork. This project will build approximately 7,400 linear feet of new railroad tracks connecting the Sharp and Tintic Railroad corridors within the Cities of Springville and Spanish Fork in Utah County. This connection will improve local community access and safety. More information about the Sharp-Tintic Railroad Connection project can be found here. Although this is a separate effort from the South Valley Transit Study, the implementation of this rail realignment will benefit the communities in southern Utah County by making a future extension of the UTA FrontRunner commuter rail service more feasible.
