On May 6–7, our team hosted the first regional listening tour for the Utah Electrified Transportation Initiative at the R6 Regional Council headquarters in Richfield, Utah. With support from IAB Co-chair and R6 Executive Director Travis Kyhl, our staff engaged local and state policymakers, industry leaders, and residents across the region — including attendees from the R6 Regional Growth Summit at Snow College. A consistent theme emerged throughout the discussions: the need for reliable, affordable, and widely available power. Local leaders emphasized that incorporating rural needs and experiences is essential to building a transportation strategy that includes perspectives from across Utah’s geographical landscape.
