Utah Finally Invests in Bikes
Hate getting stuck in I-15 traffic? Utah is inching closer toward building out a network of paved trails that will connect the entire state, so someday you may be able to bike from Logan to St. George. Utah Dept. of Transportation Trails Division director Stephanie Tomlin joins host Ali Vallarta to talk about the shift from car-centric commuting and what these investments will bring.
