UDOT’s Gondola math adds up to spending $1.4 Billion for basically no traffic relief.
UDOT has been clear from the beginning: for every alternative in Little Cottonwood Canyon—including buses, trains, and the gondola—their goal is to shift about 30% of people from cars to transit.
When you dig into the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Executive Summary and the Record of Decision, UDOT’s own design modeling actually shows a 31.8% reduction in vehicles in their best-case scenario.

Public Notice: Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon (FoLCC) is a tax-exempt organization supporting the preservation of this valuable resource while responsibly addressing the transportation needs of Utahns and visitors who enjoy the natural beauty of our Wasatch Front and, in particular, Little Cottonwood Canyon. As a 501(c)(4)—not a 501(c)(3) as erroneously reported—it can endorse candidates for political office and has done so in both the Sandy and Cottonwood Heights municipal elections, candidates whose positions are closely aligned with FoLCC.
Some individual members of FoLCC have made contributions to various political campaigns as is their right as private citizens participating in the political process, but as an organization, FoLCC has not made financial contributions to any campaign or candidate.
