transportation system and/or traffic demand management. FHWA will fully

County and includes portions of Draper City, Riverton City, Sandy City, 
and South Jordan City, Utah.

be sent to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, and to 
private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or are 
known to have an interest in this proposal. A series of public 
meetings, including scoping meetings, will be held in the project area. 
in addition, a public hearing will be held. Public notice will be given 
of the time and place of the meetings and hearing. The draft EIS will 
be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the 
public hearing.
    To ensure the full range of issues related to this proposed action
